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…
On the Categoricity of Quantum Mechanics
Iulian D. Toader
The paper offers an argument against an intuitive reading of the Stone-von Neumann theorem as a categoricity result, thereby pointing out that, against what is usually taken to be…
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…
Einstein Completeness as Categoricity
Iulian D. Toader
This paper provides an algebraic reconstruction of Einstein's own argument for the incompleteness of quantum mechanics -- the one that he thought did not make it into the EPR paper…
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…
