Einstein.
I continue to study philosophical concerns that animated Einstein,
particularly concerns that were influenced by his contributions to and
reservations over the quantum theory. That includes a recent re-evaluation of the argument in the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paper.
Interpreting the
Quantum. Studies
on current options for interpreting the quantum theory, including: a
fresh look at the classical no-go theorems, at quantum entanglement
(including what "requires" explanation in science), and at the
composition of quantum systems in recent realist treatments of the
quantum state. These studies examine costs and benefits of conditions
used in modeling quantum phenomena.
Science and
Philosophical Isms continues
the work of NOA as an historically grounded and pragmatic attitude to science. The work includes studies on Poincaré and contemporary versions of
structural realism, on relativism and foundationalism, and on the robust instrumentalism of John Dewey.
