R\"udiger Schack
TL;DR
This paper explores the connections between QBism, an interpretation of quantum mechanics, and Merleau-Ponty's phenomenological concept of the chiasm, highlighting philosophical intersections.
Contribution
It introduces a novel phenomenological perspective on QBism by analyzing Merleau-Ponty's concept of the chiasm in relation to quantum theory.
Findings
Identifies philosophical parallels between QBism and Merleau-Ponty's phenomenology
Suggests new ways to interpret quantum indeterminacy through phenomenological concepts
Bridges the gap between quantum physics and existential philosophy
Abstract
Following earlier work by Michel Bitbol and Laura de La Tremblaye which examines QBism from the perspective of phenomenology, this short paper explores points of contact between QBism and Maurice Merleau-Ponty's essay The intertwining--the chiasm.
