Book Description
Et si la science physique la plus récente sortait de son domaine d’application traditionnel ? Si la physique quantique, développée par Planck, Bohr et Einstein, se confrontaient aux sciences dites humaines ? Tel est le projet de Michel Bitbol et de son équipe dans cet ouvrage hors norme, faisant fi des frontières traditionnelles. Quelles affinités peuvent partager ces deux types de science ? Quels rôles y jouent l’homme ? Parmi les thèmes choisis pour cette confrontation citons : la prise de décision, la théorie du comportement, la recherche de l’utilité.

Book Description
The book deals with expounding the nature of Reality as it is understood in contemporary times in Quantum Physics. It also explains the classical Indian theory of Śūnya in its diverse facets. Thereafter it undertakes comparison between the two which is an area of great topical interest. It is a cross-disciplinary study by erudite Indian and western scholars between traditional Indian knowledge system and contemporary researches in Physical sciences. It points out how the theory of ‘Śūnyatā has many seminal ideas and theories in common with contemporary Quantum Physics. The learned authors have tried to dissolve the “mysteries” of Quantum Physics and resolved its “weird paradoxes” with the help of theory of Śūnyatā. The issue of non-separability or entanglement has been approached with the help of the Buddhist theory of Pratītyasamutpāda. The paradoxical situation of “wave-particle duality” has been explained with the help of Upaniṣadic theory of complementarity of the two opposites. The measurement problem represented by “Schrodinger’s cat” has been dealt with by resorting to two forms of the calculation of probabilities. Some writers have argued for Śūnyatā-like non-essentialist position to understand quantum reality. To make sense of quantum theory some papers provide a happy symbiosis of technical understanding and personal meditative experience by drawing multifarious parallels. This book will be of interest to philosophically inclined physicists and philosophers with interest in quantum mechanics.

Book Description
La physique quantique se révèle de plus en plus comme l’un des domaines scientifiques les plus fascinants et mystérieux de notre époque. Et si cette théorie révolutionnaire englobait une dimension encore plus profonde ? Certains chercheurs affirment que la physique quantique peut percer les secrets de la conscience, ouvrant ainsi une nouvelle fenêtre sur la nature même de l’univers. Ce livre étudie comment la physique quantique est étroitement liée au concept de conscience universelle et quelles implications cela peut avoir pour notre compréhension de la réalité. La physique quantique nous présente un panorama dans lequel la réalité n’est pas exactement telle qu’elle nous apparaît. Au niveau microscopique, parmi les particules subatomiques, ce que nous observons semble être influencé par le simple acte d’observation. C’est ce qu’on appelle « le paradoxe de l’observateur ». Cette fonctionnalité fait de la conscience un facteur fondamental dans la compréhension de la réalité quantique. Un autre aspect fascinant de la physique quantique est l’intrication quantique. Il s’agit d’une propriété grâce à laquelle des particules subatomiques peuvent devenir intrinsèquement connectées, quelle que soit la distance qui les sépare. Certains chercheurs affirment que ce phénomène pourrait suggérer l’existence d’une conscience universelle dans laquelle tout est interconnecté. Le livre explore les théories qui lient l'intrication quantique à la conscience et comment de nouveaux horizons dans notre compréhension de la réalité peuvent surgir de cette connexion. L’expérience à double fente est un classique de la physique quantique qui soulève des questions fascinantes sur la nature même de l’observation et de l’intention. Des études récentes affirment que l’esprit de l’observateur pourrait avoir une influence directe sur le comportement des particules subatomiques. Cela nous amène à considérer le rôle de l’intention consciente dans la création de la réalité et à explorer l’idée selon laquelle la conscience est une force active dans l’univers lui-même. La convergence entre physique quantique et spiritualité constitue un terrain fertile pour de futures recherches. Certains soutiennent que la physique quantique peut fournir une explication scientifique des anciennes philosophies orientales, comme l’idée d’un champ de conscience unifié. C’est une perspective qui mène à une vision plus profonde et plus intégrée de notre rôle dans le cosmos. La physique quantique nous invite à reconsidérer la nature même de la réalité et à adhérer à l’idée selon laquelle la conscience peut jouer un rôle central dans l’univers. Ce livre explique avec une grande simplicité les secrets de la physique quantique, pour entraîner le lecteur vers une incroyable opportunité d'exploration et d'ouverture vers de nouvelles frontières de la connaissance.

Book Description
This volume connects chemistry and philosophy in order to face questions raised by chemistry in our present world. The idea is first to develop a kind of philosophy of chemistry which is deeply rooted in the exploration of chemical activities. We thus work in close contact with chemists (technicians, engineers, researchers, and teachers). Following this line of reasoning, the first part of the book encourages current chemists to describe their workaday practices while insisting on the importance of attending to methodological, metrological, philosophical, and epistemological questions related to their activities. It deals with sustainable chemistry, chemical metrology, nanochemistry, and biochemistry, among other crucial topics. In doing so, those chemists invite historians and philosophers to provide ideas for future developments. In a nutshell, this part is a call for forthcoming collaborations focused on instruments and methods, that is on ways of doing chemistry. The second part of the book illustrates the multifarious ways to study chemistry and even proposes new approaches to doing so. Each approach is interesting and incomplete but the emergent whole is richer than any of its components. Analytical work needs socio-historical expertise as well as many other approaches in order to keep on investigating chemistry to greater and greater depth. This heterogeneity provides a wide set of methodological perspectives not only about current chemical practices but also about the ways to explore them philosophically. Each approach is a resource to study chemistry and to reflect upon what doing philosophy of science can mean. In the last part of the volume, philosophers and chemists propose new concepts or reshape older ones in order to think about chemistry. The act of conceptualization itself is queried as well as the relationships between concepts and chemical activities. Prefaced by Nobel Laureate in Chemistry, Roald Hoffmann, and by the President of the International Society for the Philosophy of Chemistry, Rom Harré, this volume is a plea for the emergence of a collective cleverness and aims to foster inventiveness.

Book Description
This book suggests a radical departure in approaching the mind-body problem. Instead of trying to causally relate subjective experience to the functioning of the body, it begins with the notion of the psychosomatic unity of the individual and looks for its conditions of possibility. This text shows that what makes this unity possible is the generalized entanglement relation that connects a person's subjective experience with its body functioning in a specific way.In addition to providing a significant contribution to the long-standing philosophical debate about the nature of the mind-body connection, this change of perspective based on the concept of generalized entanglement allows for exploring a holistic approach to health. It can for example explain the existence of body memory and leads to a better understanding of the genesis and evolution of internal diseases, allowing for the development of mind-body therapies. This volume also provides new insights into mental disorders and sets the theoretical basis of self-healing methods appealing to students, researchers and professionals in the fields.

Book Description
October 19th 1987 was a day of huge change for the global finance industry. On this day the stock market crashed, the Nobel Prize winning Black-Scholes formula failed and volatility smiles were born, and on this day Elie Ayache began his career, on the trading floor of the French Futures and Options Exchange. Experts everywhere sought to find a model for this event, and ways to simulate it in order to avoid a recurrence in the future, but the one thing that struck Elie that day was the belief that what actually happened on 19th October 1987 is simply non reproducible outside 19th October 1987 - you cannot reduce it to a chain of causes and effects, or even to a random generator, that can then be reproduced or represented in a theoretical framework. The Blank Swan is Elie's highly original treatise on the financial markets presenting a totally revolutionary rethinking of derivative pricing and technology. It is not a diatribe against Nassim Taleb's The Black Swan, but criticises the whole background or framework of predictable and unpredictable events white and black swans alike , i.e. the very category of prediction. In this revolutionary book, Elie redefines the components of the technology needed to price and trade derivatives. Most importantly, and drawing on a long tradition of philosophy of the event from Henri Bergson to Gilles Deleuze, to Alain Badiou, and on a recent brand of philosophy of contingency, embodied by the speculative materialism of Quentin Meillassoux, Elie redefines the market itself against the common perceptions of orthodox financial theory, general equilibrium theory and the sociology of finance. This book will change the way that we think about derivatives and approach the market. If anything, derivatives should be renamed contingent claims, where contingency is now absolute and no longer derivative, and the market is just its medium. The book also establishes the missing link between quantitative modelling (no longer dependent on probability theory but on a novel brand of mathematics which Elie calls the mathematics of price) and the reality of the market.

Book Description
This book offers fresh perspective on the role of phenomenology in the philosophy of physics which opens new avenues for discussion among physicists, "standard" philosophers of physics and philosophers with phenomenological leanings. Much has been written on the interrelations between philosophy and physics in the late 19th and early 20th century, and on the emergence of philosophy of science as an autonomous philosophical sub-discipline. This book is about the under-explored role of phenomenology in the development and the philosophical interpretation of 20th century physics. Part 1 examines questions about the origins and value of phenomenological approaches to physics. Does the work of classical phenomenologists such as Husserl, Merleau-Ponty or Heidegger contain elements of systematic value to both the practice and our philosophical understanding of physics? How did classical phenomenology influence “standard” philosophy of science in the Anglo-American and other traditions? Part 2 probes questions on the role of phenomenology in the philosophies of physics and science: - Can phenomenology help to solve “Wigner’s puzzle”, the problem of the "unreasonable effectiveness" of mathematics in describing, explaining and predicting empirical phenomena? - Does phenomenology allow better understanding of the principle of gauge invariance at the core of the standard model of contemporary particle physics? - Does the phenomenological notion of “Lifeworld” stand in opposition to the “scientific metaphysics” movement, or is there potential for dialogue? Part 3 examines the measurement problem. Is the solution outlined by Fritz London and Edmond Bauer merely a re-statement of von Neumann’s view, or should it be regarded as a distinctively phenomenological take on the measurement problem? Is phenomenology a serious contender in continuing discussions of foundational questions of quantum mechanics? Can other interpretational frameworks such as quantum Bayesianism benefit from implementing phenomenological notions such as constitution or horizonal intentionality?
