Reddit mentions of The Quantum Enigma: Finding the Hidden Key 3rd Edition

> "... they cannot be both at the same time ..." This is so wrong (see: quantum mechanics).

I really hate it when people talk about this stuff without having any actual knowledge regarding what they are talking about. Just go and read an actual book on quantum physics. Aside from that quantum physics averages out on larger scales anyway to give us the kind of physics we know. Furthermore, physics is about measuring and modeling empirical reality etc etc and does not have much to do with logic per se (which is an a priori discipline). But I guess to you things like sets of numbers being either finite or infinite or the question of whether I actually ate breakfast or not at 6 am today are things that can easily be subject to quantum superposition...

Btw and just to make this clear, epistemological issues becoming apparent due to the accuracy of measurement do not imply that there is no actual fact of the matter. See e.g. the relational interpretation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schr%C3%B6dinger's_cat#Relational_interpretation) of quantum mechanics, or the work of philosopher Wolfgang Smith (https://www.amazon.com/Quantum-Enigma-Finding-Hidden-Key/dp/1597310077).


>We can speculate though: "... they cannot be both from the same point of view ...".

It was you that just omitted my " it nonetheless seems clear that..." How damn intellectually dishonest can you get? Well, given your Quantum woo reference I guess I should not be surprised.

>This is so wrong

It is funny how people who can not back up their stuff with facts tend to use stronger language to make up for it.

I think what you are looking for is Quantum Enigma by Wolfgang Smith. I haven't read it yet but it looks interesting. While I don't think there's been a ton of work on reconciling Thomsim/Neo-Scholasticism with QM, I think that is because many don't see a clear conflict. As one of your commenters points out, Feser kind of hand waves QM's challenges to causation away with a "well just because we don't know the cause doesn't mean there isn't one." I think that may be an acceptable response but it certainly isn't a satisfying one.

On the subject of QM, I posted this interview yesterday with Stephen Barr, a leading physicist who proposes that if anything QM reinforces classical theism rather than undermines it. You can Google some of his work but I don't know if he's a Thomist or delves too deep into philosophy (which would make him like all other physicists...I kid I kid).
