“Quantum physics and vedanta”: A perspective from Bernard D'Espagnat's scientific realism
Zygon 46 (3):620-638 (2011)
| Abstract | Abstract. In the last decades, several rapprochements have been made between quantum physics and the Advaita Vedānta (AV) school of Hinduism. Theoretical issues such as the role of the observer in measurement and physical interconnectedness have been associated with tenets of AV, generating various critical responses. In this study, I propose to address this encounter in the light of recent works on philosophical implications of quantum physics by the physicist and philosopher of science Bernard d’Espagnat | |||||||||
