Description for Knowledge and Time
Hardback. Combining conceptual, formal, and engineering approaches in an unusual way, the core of this book is the relation between ways of learning and knowing, and different modes of time. Partial Boolean logic and the associated notion of complementarity express this relation, and mathematical tools of fundamental physics are used to formalize it. Editor(s): Atmanspacher, Harald. Num Pages: 483 pages, 19 black & white illustrations, 6 colour illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: HPK; JMR; PBT; PDA; PDX. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155. .
This is a unique volume by a unique scientist, which combines conceptual, formal, and engineering approaches in a way that is rarely seen. Its core is the relation between ways of learning and knowing on the one hand and different modes of time on the other. Partial Boolean logic and the associated notion of complementarity are used to express this relation, and mathematical tools of fundamental physics are used to formalize it. Along the way many central philosophical problems are touched and addressed, above all the mind-body problem. Completed only shortly before the death of the author, the text has ... Read more

About Hans Primas
Hans Primas was professor of chemistry at ETH in Zurich, but also pursued his strong interests in psychology and philosophy, partly inspired by the work of C. G. Jung and Wolfgang Pauli. In addition he worked on the formulation and philosophy of quantum mechanics, particularly the measurement problem, on realism in quantum theory, and on emergence and reduction in the ... Read more
