After introducing the empiricist point of view in philosophy of
science, and the concepts and methods of the semantic approach to
scientific theories, Professor van Fraassen discusses quantum
theory in three stages. He first examines the question of whether
and how empirical phenomena require a non-classical theory, and
what sort of theory they require. He then discusses the
mathematical foundations of quantum theory with special reference
to developments in the modelling of interaction, composite systems,
and measurement. Finally, the author broaches the main questions of
interpretation. After offering a critique of earlier
interpretations, he develops a new one - the modal interpretation -
which attempts to stay close to the original Copenhagen ideas
without implying a radical incompleteness in quantum theory. He
again gives special attention to the character of composite,
many-body systems and especially to the peculiar character of
assemblies of indentical particles in quantum statistics.;The work
is aimed at philosophers of science, scientists and mathematicians
interested in the philosophy of mathematics and science.
