How determinism can fail in classical physics and how quantum physics can (sometimes) provide a cure
Philosophy of Science 75 (5):817-829 (2008)
Abstract
Various fault modes of determinism in classical physics are outlined. It is shown how quantum mechanics can cure some forms of classical indeterminism. †To contact the author, please write to: Department of HPS, University of Pittsburgh, 1017 Cathedral of Learning, Pittsburgh, PA 15260; e‐mail: [email protected].Author's Profile
