Niels Bohr and Philosophy of Physics: Twenty-First Century
Perspectives examines the philosophical views, influences and
legacy of the Nobel Prize physicist and philosophical spokesman of
the quantum revolution, Niels Bohr. The sixteen contributions in
this collection by some of the best contemporary philosophers and
physicists writing on Bohr's philosophy today all carefully
distinguish his subtle and unique interpretation of quantum
mechanics from views often imputed to him under the banner of the
"Copenhagen Interpretation." With respect to philosophical
influences on Bohr's outlook, the contributors analyse prominent
similarities between his viewpoint and Kantian ways of thinking,
the views of the Danish philosopher Harald Hoffding, and themes
characteristic of American pragmatism. In recognizing the
importance of Bohr's epistemological naturalism they examine his
defence of the indispensability of classical concepts from a
variety of different perspectives. This collection shows us that
Bohr's interpretation of quantum mechanics, now nearly a century
old, still has the power to shed light on a variety of issues that
have arisen only since his lifetime, as well as decoherence theory
and other non-collapse interpretations. Balancing historical themes
with contemporary discussions, Niels Bohr and the Philosophy of
Physics establishes Bohr's on-going contribution to the philosophy
of physics and examines his place in the history of philosophy.
