Hi all,

I am about to finish reading a PhD dissertation "Quantum Metaphysics
The Role of Human Beings within the Paradigms of Classical and Quantum Physics" by Tarja Kallio-Tamminen. Don't be too worried about the term "metaphysics" here: it is treated in quite a reasonable way. Niels Bohr is a key figure in her treatment.
The dissertation belongs to the domain of philosophy. However, Dr. Kallio-Tamminen has a training in theoretical physics and her opponent was a competent physics professor.

I found the parts discussing different interpretations of quantum mechanics most interesting. I also liked the history of evolution of ideas in quantum mechanics. If you are interested the dissertation it can be downloaded from:

If you bother to take a look at the dissertation I'd like to hear your responses either on- or offline.

Regards,

Antti
