The Institute of Philosophy, RCH, cordially invites you to its upcoming talk Prof. Slobodan Perovic (University of Belgrade, Department of Philosophy) Neutral Monism and Niels Bohr's Complementarity.

Abstract:

Philosophers have substantially considered the key ideas of Neutral Monism, a philosophical view attempting to overcome the Mind/Body problem, as it was initially developed by Ernst Mach and Bertrand Russell. Yet similar ideas are also found in some key considerations of a few prominent physicists who developed quantum mechanics. We will show that Niels Bohr’s principle of complementarity (of the particle and wave aspects of microphysical phenomena) is a gradually developed and experimentally motivated account very close to Russell’s and Mach’s key ideas on Neutral Monism.
