One finds, even in texts by distinguished physicists, diverse enunciations of the correspondence principle. Typical is that quantum mechanics should agree with classical mechanics in some appropriate ...
Can Bayesian agents always be rational?A principled analysis of consistency of an Abstract Principal Principle
Bayesianism Principal Principle interpretation of probability
2016/6/15
The paper takes the Abstract Principal Principle to be a norm demanding that subjective degrees of belief of a Bayesian agent be equal to the objective probabilities once the agent has conditionalized...
On the Galoisian Structure of Heisenberg Indeterminacy Principle
Galois-Grothendieck Theory Quantum mechanics Heisenberg Indeterminacy Principle, Symmetries/Invariants
2016/6/15
We revisit Heisenberg indeterminacy principle in the light of the Galois-Grothendieck theory for the case of finite abelian Galois extensions. In this restricted framework, the Galois-Grothendieck dua...
Kantian Causality and Quantum Quarks:The Compatibility between Quantum Mechanics and Kant’s Phenomenal World
Kant quantum theory Copenhagen interpretation indeterminism perspectives law of causality transcendental idealism teoría cuantica interpretación de Copenhague indeterminismo perspectivas ley de causalidad idealismo trascendental

Quantum indeterminism seems incompatible with Kant’s defense of causality in his Second Analogy.The Copenhagen interpretation also takes quantum theory as evidence for anti-realism. This article argue...
Do Quantum Objects Have Temporal Parts?

2016/6/15
This paper provides a new context for an established metaphysical debate regarding the problem of persistence. I contend that perdurance, a popular view about persistence which maintains that objects ...
Time and Quantum Theory:A History and A Prospectus

2016/6/15
In this paper I am concerned with analyzing in detail how ideas and expectations regarding the role of time in quantum theory arose and evolved in the early years of quantum mechanics (from 1925-27). ...

In this reply to Prof. Fleming's response (http://philsci-archive.pitt.edu/9695/) to my `Time and Quantum Theory: A History and A Prospectus' (http://philsci-archive.pitt.edu/9995/) I take issue with ...
The Early History of Chance in Evolution

2016/6/15
Work throughout the history and philosophy of biology frequently employs 'chance', 'unpredictability', 'probability', and many similar terms. One common way of understanding how these concepts were in...

2016/6/15
The scientific work of Leonardo da Vinci may have served as the main inspiration for the historical research of George Sarton. Although he never produced a work he felt was worthy of its subject, the ...

2016/6/15
The purpose of this article is to respond to Thomas Uebel′s criticisms of my comments regarding the current revisionism of Carnap′s work and its relations to Kuhn. I begin by pointing out some misunde...
A First Class Constraint Generates Not a Gauge Transformation,But a Bad Physical Change:The Case of Electromagnetism
empirical equivalence gauge freedom quantum gravity problem of time
2016/6/15
In Dirac-Bergmann constrained dynamics, a first-class constraint typically does not _alone_ generate a gauge transformation. By direct calculation it is found that each first-class constraint in Maxwe...
Time and Fermions:General Covariance vs.Ockham's Razor for Spinors

2016/6/15
It is a commonplace in the foundations of physics, attributed to Kretschmann, that any local physical theory can be represented using arbitrary coordinates, simply by using tensor calculus. On the oth...
The paper develops a theory of branching spatiotemporal histories that accommodates indeterminism and the insights of general relativity. A model of this theory can be viewed as a collection of overla...
Relativity,the Open Future,and the Passage of Time

2016/6/15
Is the objective passage of time compatible with relativistic physics? There are two easy routes to an affirmative answer: (1) provide a deflationary analysis of passage compatible with the block univ...

Necessitism about individuals claims that necessarily every individual necessarily exists. An analogous necessitist thesis attributes necessary existence to properties and relations. Both theses have ...
