Descrying the World in the Wave Function
The Monist 80 (1):3-23 (1997)
Abstract
This essay is born of a misunderstanding. When Barry Loewer mentioned to me that he might be interested in an essay on David Bohm’s version or interpretation of quantum theory, he happened also to mention the work of Wilfrid Sellars, which coincidentally was on his mind. I mistakenly understood that what was wanted was an essay connecting Bohm and Sellars. This directed my thoughts down pathways they would not otherwise have taken, and sent me back to some works of Sellars which had lain neglected on my shelves. What follows is the result of this fortuitous juxtaposition of ideas.Author's Profile
