The Meaning of the Wave Function: In Search of the Ontology of Quantum Mechanics

Published by International Journal of Quantum Foundations on March 27, 2018

Volume 4, Issue 2, pages 204-209

Peter J. Lewis [Show Biography]

Peter Lewis studied physics at Oxford University and philosophy at the University of California, Irvine. He has taught philosophy at Texas Tech University and the University of Miami, and he is currently Professor of Philosophy at Dartmouth College. He has been a visiting scholar at Hong Kong University, the University of Sydney, and Durham University. His work concentrates on the foundations of quantum mechanics, but he has also published on scientific realism and on the epistemology of self-locating belief.

This is a review of Shan Gao’s book The Meaning of the Wave Function: In Search of the Ontology of Quantum Mechanics (Cambridge University Press, 2017).
