PHILOSOPHERS LOOK AT QUANTUM MECHANICS GEBUNDEN

This edited volume explores the philosophical implications of quantum mechanics. It features
papers from venues of the International Ontology Congress (IOC) up to 2016. IOC is a worldwide
platform for dialogue and reflection on the interactions between science and philosophy. The
collection features philosophers as well as physicists  including David Albert  Harvey Brown 
Jeffrey Bub  Otávio Bueno  James Cushing  Steven French  Victor Gomez-Pin  Carl Hoefer  Simon
Kochen  Peter Lewis  Tim Maudlin  Peter Mittlestatedt  Roland Omnès  Juha Saatsi  Albert Solé 
David Wallace  and Anton Zeilinger. Since the early days of quantum mechanics  philosophers
have studied the subject with growing technical skill and fruitfulness. Their efforts have
unveiled intellectual bridges between physics and philosophy. These connections have helped
fuel the contemporary debate about the scope and limits of realism and understanding in the
interpretation of physical theories and scientific theories in general. The philosophical
analysis of quantum mechanics is now one of the most sophisticated and productive areas in
contemporary philosophy  as the papers in this collection illustrate.
