Quantum Mechanics and Phenomenology: Specifying the Philosophical Foundations of QBism

Project manager: Philipp Berghofer

Funding body: Province of Styria

Duration: 01.10.2022 - 30.11.2023

 

Project description:

Quantum mechanics is on the one hand the most empirically successful theory in the history of the natural sciences and on the other hand the most misunderstood theory in the sense that there is the greatest possible disagreement about what it actually says about the world. This research project aims to establish a new approach to the (philosophy of) quantum mechanics: The philosophical tradition of phenomenology is to be used as a philosophical-conceptual foundation in order to reconstruct, interpret and understand quantum mechanics.
