Epistemological and Experimental Perspectives on Quantum Physics

Epistemological and Experimental Perspectives on Quantum Physics edited by Daniel Greenberger, W.L. Reiter, Anton Zeilinger.

From the very beginning it was realised that quantum physics involves radically new interpretative and epistemological consequences. While hitherto there has been no satisfactory philosophical analysis of these consequences, recent years have witnessed the accomplishment of many experiments to test...
