Antoine Soulas, "An interpretation-independent formulation of the measurement problem" - Physics meets Philosophy

by Sebastian Horvat

Dear all, You are hereby invited to the next "Physics meets Philosophy" talk by Antoine Soulas (University of Vienna) Title: An interpretation-independent formulation of the measurement problem (see abstract below) Date: May 7th (Wednesday) Time: 11:00-12:30 Location: IQOQI Seminar room (Boltzmanngasse 3, 2nd floor) Zoom link (for those that cannot join in person): https://univienna.zoom.us/j/66902590859?pwd=HaoStYqIbHUcDcq8fMl9MYm6OibV2E.1 Abstract: In this presentation, I do not try to solve the measurement problem, but rather to properly formulate it. One of the reasons why it still lacks a precise, agreed definition is that the problem may take very different forms depending on the interpretation of QM embraced. I propose to identify the common root of the puzzle in an interpretation-independent way (i.e. as a property of the probabilities only) and derive its philosophical consequences. The key point is that the violation of the total probability formula in QM does not allow to construct an objective ontology, independent from epistemology. This enables to: (i) better compare the different interpretations of QM; (ii) propose a reason why QM and GR are so fundamentally incompatible, not relying on purely mathematical or technical arguments.

[4] Bewerbungsfrist: 25.05.2025 (4) Call for Papers (Sonderband, Deadline: 01.10.2025) Synthese: Feminist Logic CFP - Synthese Topical Collection - Feminist Logic Guest editor: Sara Ayhan, Ruhr University Bochum Deadline: October 1, 2025. Information page: https://link.springer.com/collections/hiejjifchd Topical Collection Description: Feminist Logic examines intersections of formal logic and feminist philosophy. As such it challenges traditional conceptions both of feminism and of logic. This is a very broad description, but it captures the diversity of the field of Feminist Logic that will also be reflected in the contributions to this topical collection. More specifically, Feminist Logic can mean - to use logical tools for feminist ends, e.g., to uncover biases in arguments or to model social hierarchies to make patriarchal structures explicit, - to devise, revise and/or argue for logical systems from a distinctly feminist perspective, e.g., certain logical systems may seem suited better or worse for formalizing feminist arguments, - to look at the history of logic from a feminist perspective, e.g., by revealing so far disregarded contributions by female logicians and exposing exclusionary practices that led to their invisibility, - to consider teaching practices in logic and how those disadvantage certain underrepresented groups. As this list of possible topics shows, there are also strong connections to other discourses in philosophy of logic (e.g., the debates about logical pluralism, anti-exceptionalism and the normativity of logic) and in epistemology (e.g., combining formal and social epistemology). Thus, this is a topic which combines various subdisciplines of philosophy. Contributions covering any of the above listed topics or which in another way combine logic and feminist philosophy are welcome. Note that the listed topics are not meant to be restricted to gender discourses but that submissions addressing intersectional feminist approaches are also particularly encouraged. Submissions will be subject to the usual review process of Synthese and are to be made via https://www.editorialmanager.com/synt/default.aspx When submitting, select "T.C. : Feminist Logic" in the drop-down TC list. Submission guidelines: https://link.springer.com/journal/11229/submission-guidelines For further information, please contact the guest editor: sara.ayhan(a)rub.de The deadline for submissions is October 1, 2025.

Works with an applied focus on global issues, works within philosophy of disability, trans* philosophy, feminist philosophy, critical race studies, environmental justice, indigenous philosophy, Critical Theory, non-ideal theory, and ecofeminism (to name but a few) are particularly welcome. Selection process: All submissions will be checked for their fit with the series and then be evaluated by a jury including members of the book series' advisory board.

Scientific practices began to be understood in a pluralistic, piecemeal fashion, shifting the focus from a monolithic conception of science to a multiplicity of approaches (cf. Galison & Stump 1996). Pluralism has since evolved into an active and explicit research program within the philosophy of science (cf. Ludwig & Ruby 2021). Very recently, the pluralist stance has materialized in forms like scientific perspectivism (cf. Giere 2006; Teller 2019; Massimi 2022; Kendig 2024) and pragmatist philosophy of science (cf. Price 2011; Andersen & Mitchell 2023; Chang 2022). At the HHU Summer School, we aim to foster a rich dialogue between pluralism, pragmatism, and perspectivism, anchored in their shared pluralistic foundations (see Price 2011 for a non-representational understanding that underlies both pragmatism and causal perspectivalism). In this context of P3, the role of scientific models as vehicles of representation (cf. Frigg & Nguyen 2021; 2022) and traditional conceptions of truth (cf. Andersen 2023) are reinterpreted through new philosophical lenses. By the same token, the representational means by which the representational function of models is achieved are irreducibly pluralistic. (See Suárez 2024's proposal for representational pluralism). Questions about the role of scientific instruments and the extent to which instruments are 'perspectival' and reflect a 'point of view' are becoming increasingly relevant (cf. Giere 2006; Crețu 2022 for a recent reappraisal). Instructors: * Ana-Maria Crețu (Bristol) * Roman Frigg (LSE) * Catherine Kendig (Michigan State University) * Martin Kusch (Vienna) * Mauricio Suárez (Complutense University of Madrid & Clare Hall Cambridge) * Fenner Stanley Tanswell (TU Berlin) Lecturers: * Holly Andersen (Simon Fraser University) * Anjan Chakravartty (Miami) * Catarina Dutilh Novaes (VU Amsterdam & St. Andrews) * Huw Price (Cambridge) The summer school will be held in person from 15/09/2025 to 19/09/2025, at Heinrich Heine University's Haus der Universität. We welcome applications from current graduate students (MA and PhD) through our website: https://p3-summerschool.netlify.app/call-for-applications. The application deadline is 15/06/2025. There is no participation fee, but participants must cover their travel and accommodation expenses. We especially encourage applications from members of underrepresented groups. The event is organised by Daian Bica, Paul Hasselkuß, and Alexander Christian (Düsseldorf). It is hosted and supported by Heinrich Heine University, and endorsed by the German Society for Analytic Philosophy as an asteroid event to GAP.12.
