Primary qualities are secondary qualities too
British Journal for the Philosophy of Science 40 (1):29-37 (1989)
Abstract
The paper argues for realism in quantum mechanics. Specifically, the formalism of quantum mechanics should be understood as giving a complete description of quantum situations. When it is understood in this way, traditional primary properties of matter can be seen as similar to traditional secondary properties, though at a different level.Author's Profile
