  • Complementarity

    Anti-Epistemology after Bohr and Derrida

    by Arkady Plotnitsky ...
    Many commentators have remarked in passing on the resonance between deconstructionist theory and certain ideas of quantum physics. In this book, Arkady Plotnitsky rigorously elaborates the similarities and differences between the two by focusing on the work of Niels Bohr and Jacques Derrida. In detailed considerations of Bohr’s notion of complementarity and his debates with Einstein, and in ... Read more

  • Reality Without Realism

    Matter, Thought, and Technology in Quantum Physics

    by Arkady Plotnitsky ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book presents quantum theory as a theory based on new relationships among matter, thought, and experimental technology, as against those previously found in physics, relationships that also redefine those between mathematics and physics in quantum theory. The argument of the book is based on its title concept, reality without realism (RWR), and in the corresponding view, the RWR view, of ... Read more

  • Logos and Alogon

    Thinkable and the Unthinkable in Mathematics, from the Pythagoreans to the Moderns

    by Arkady Plotnitsky ...
    Series series Mathematics and Statistics (R0)
    This book is a philosophical study of mathematics, pursued by considering and relating two aspects of mathematical thinking and practice, especially in modern mathematics, which, having emerged around 1800, consolidated around 1900 and extends to our own time, while also tracing both aspects to earlier periods, beginning with the ancient Greek mathematics. The first aspect is conceptual, which ... Read more

  • The Principles of Quantum Theory, From Planck's Quanta to the Higgs Boson

    The Nature of Quantum Reality and the Spirit of Copenhagen

    by Arkady Plotnitsky ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    The book considers foundational thinking in quantum theory, focusing on the role the fundamental principles and principle thinking there, including thinking that leads to the invention of new principles, which is, the book contends, one of the ultimate achievements of theoretical thinking in physics and beyond. The focus on principles, prominent during the rise and in the immediate aftermath of ... Read more

  • Epistemology and Probability

    Bohr, Heisenberg, Schrödinger, and the Nature of Quantum-Theoretical Thinking

    by Arkady Plotnitsky ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book offers an exploration of the relationships between epistemology and probability in the work of Niels Bohr, Werner Heisenberg, and Erwin Schro- ¨ dinger, and in quantum mechanics and in modern physics as a whole. It also considers the implications of these relationships and of quantum theory itself for our understanding of the nature of human thinking and knowledge in general, or the ‘ ... Read more

  • Niels Bohr and Complementarity

    An Introduction

    by Arkady Plotnitsky ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book offers a discussion of Niels Bohr’s conception of “complementarity,” arguably his greatest contribution to physics and philosophy. By tracing Bohr’s work from his 1913 atomic theory to the introduction and then refinement of the idea of complementarity, and by explicating different meanings of “complementarity” in Bohr and the relationships between it and Bohr’s other concepts, the book ...

  • The Quantum-Like Revolution

    A Festschrift for Andrei Khrennikov

    Edited by Arkady Plotnitsky, Emmanuel Haven ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Over the last ten years, elements of the formalism of quantum mechanics have been successfully applied beyond physics in areas such as psychology (especially cognition), economics and finance (especially in the formalization of so-called ‘decision making’), political science, and molecular biology. An important stream of work along these lines, commonly under the heading of quantum-like modeling, ... Read more

  • Mathematics, Science, and Postclassical Theory

    by Brian Rotman, Andrew Pickering ...
    Mathematics, Science, and Postclassical Theory is a unique collection of essays dealing with the intersections between science and mathematics and the radical reconceptions of knowledge, language, proof, truth, and reality currently emerging from poststructuralist literary theory, constructivist history and sociology of science, and related work in contemporary philosophy. Featuring a ... Read more
