On the Symbolic Character of Quantum Knowledge
Hernán Pringe
Abstract: Several authors have drawn parallels between Kant’s philosophy and Bohr’s interpretation of quantum theory. However, most of them concentrate their discussion on the Critique of Pure Reason and fail to recognize the central importance of other elements of the Kantian system. In particular, the concept of symbol has rarely received the attention that it deserves. On the contrary, I will try to show in this talk that quantum knowledge is, according to Bohr, symbolic in a strict Kantian sense.
Hernán Pringe obtained a degree in Physics and a degree in Philosophy at the University of Buenos Aires. At present, he is a Ph.D. student at the University of Dortmund.
