Bivalent Quantum Indeterminacy
Claudio Calosi, Iulian D. Toader
This paper provides a novel metametaphysical approach to quantum indeterminacy. More specifically, it argues that bivalent quantum logic can successfully account for this kind of i…
Distribution can be Dropped: Reply to Rumfitt
Iulian D. Toader
Most believe that there are no empirical grounds that make the adoption of quantum logic necessary. Ian Rumfitt has further argued that this adoption is not possible, either, for t…
Quantum Mechanics as a Carnapian Language
Iulian D. Toader
The paper discusses Carnap's claim that a proper philosophical analysis of quantum mechanics, including a determination of whether its logic has to be revised, requires a rational…
Is Bohr's Correspondence Principle just Hankel's Principle of Permanence?
Iulian D. Toader
No, but the paper argues that Bohr understood his correspondence principle, or at least an aspect of that principle expressed by the notion of rational generalization, as grounded…
Rules and Meaning in Quantum Mechanics
Iulian D. Toader
This book concerns the metasemantics of quantum mechanics (QM). Roughly, it pursues an investigation at the intersection of philosophy of physics and philosophy of language, and it…
Spacetime Singularities and Invariance
O. Cristi Stoica, Iulian D. Toader
This paper explains why spacetime singularities do not constitute a breakdown of physical laws, and points out that the difference between the metrics at singularities and those ou…
Carnap on Quantum Mechanics
Sebastian Horvat, Iulian D. Toader
This entry reviews Rudolf Carnap's philosophical views on the quantum mechanics of his time. It also offers some thoughts on how Carnap might have reacted to some recent developmen…
An Alleged Tension between Non-classical Logics and Applied Classical Mathematics
Sebastian Horvat, Iulian D. Toader
Timothy Williamson has recently argued that the applicability of classical mathematics in the natural and social sciences raises a problem for the endorsement, in non-mathematical…
Quantum Logic and Meaning
Sebastian Horvat, Iulian D. Toader
This paper gives a formulation of quantum logic in the abstract algebraic setting laid out by Dunn and Hardegree (2001). On this basis, it provides a comparative analysis of viable…
