The Wave Function: Essays on the Metaphysics of Quantum Mechanics
This is a new volume of original essays on the metaphysics of quantum mechanics. The essays address questions such as: What fundamental metaphysics is best motivated by quantum mechanics? What is the ontological status of the wave function? Does quantum mechanics support the existence of any other fundamental entities, e.g. particles? What is the nature of the fundamental space (or space-time manifold) of quantum mechanics? What is the relationship between the fundamental ontology of quantum mechanics and ordinary, macroscopic objects like tables, chairs, and persons? This collection includes a comprehensive introduction with a history of quantum mechanics and the debate over its metaphysical interpretation focusing especially on the main realist alternatives.In the example, there is an opaque box that contains the cat and a flask containing poisonous gas. This flask is part of a adiabolical devicea: a hammer is set to break the flask if the radioactive substance decays, releasing the gas and killing theanbsp;...
