With respect to philosophical influences on Bohr's outlook, the contributors analyse prominent similarities between his viewpoint and Kantian ways of thinking, the views of the Danish philosopher Harald H ffding, and themes characteristic of American pragmatism. In recognizing the importance of Bohr's epistemological naturalism they examine his defence of the indispensability of classical concepts from a variety of different perspectives.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis collection shows us that Bohr's interpretation of quantum mechanics, now nearly a century old, still has the power to shed light on a variety of issues that have arisen only since his lifetime, as well as decoherence theory and other non-collapse interpretations. Balancing historical themes with contemporary discussions, \u003ci\u003eNiels Bohr and the Philosophy of Physics\u003c\/i\u003e establishes Bohr's on-going contribution to the philosophy of physics and examines his place in the history of philosophy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jan Faye\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350109037\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350109032\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/18\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 392\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.21lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.81d","brand":"Jan Faye","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43925004517631,"sku":"9781350109032","price":46.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_4baa3acd-30b6-4cb7-a6c1-15bc4bba51dd.jpg?v=1681074755","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/niels-bohr-and-the-philosophy-jan-faye-9781350109032","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
