Opis

This volume brings together philosophers and physicists to explore the parallels between Quantum Bayesianism, or QBism, and the phenomenological tradition. It is the first book exclusively devoted to phenomenology and quantum mechanics.

Recenzje

"Phenomenology and QBism joins the forces of the leading proponents of Quantum Bayesianism and phenomenology of physics to appraise the promise of phenomenology for the foundations of physics. The outcome is an exciting and inspiring collection of essays."

Mirja Hartimo, University of Helsinki, Finland
