Seminar in Philosphy in Physics
AS.150.653 (01)

This should not be confused with the quantum revolution in physics roughly a century ago. The recent book, The Quantum Revolution in Philosophy, by Richard Healey urges that a proper understanding of quantum theory should usher in a just as significant revolution in philosophy itself. According to Healey, the current morass in quantum foundations derives from a misunderstanding of how the theory works—it does not represent some weird reality. Building on the inferentialist account of content due to Sellars, Brandom and Price, he argues instead that one needs to understand how the theory is used, and that doing this not only dispels the usual conundrums, but has radical implications for deeply held views in philosophy of science, analytic metaphysics, philosophy of language and philosophy more generally.
