The Evolution of the Bell Notion of Beable
John S. Bell introduced the notion of beable , as opposed to the standard notion of observable , in order to emphasize the need for an unambiguous formulation of quantum mechanics. In the paper I show that Bell formulated in fact two different theories of beables. The first is somehow reminiscent of the Bohr views on quantum mechanics but, at the same time, is curiously adopted by Bell as a critical tool against the Copenhagen interpretation, whe…

How and when did locality become ‘local realism’? A historical and critical analysis (1963–1978)
Large-scale simulations of brain mechanisms
In recent years, a number of research projects have been proposed whose goal is to build large-scale simulations of brain mechanisms at unprecedented levels of biological accuracy. Here it is argued that the roles these simulations are expected to play in neuroscientific research go beyond the “synthetic method” extensively adopted in Artificial Intelligence and biorobotics. In addition we show that, over and above the common goal of simulating b…

Le principe de causalité entre empirisme logique et néokantisme
Cet article examine les changements idéologiques qui touchent le statut social des femmes, en particulier la maternité et la sexualité. Il analyse la pluralisation des féminismes en articulation avec les mobilisations actuelles contre les violences sexuelles et montre les injonctions paradoxales qui s’exercent sur les femmes. Dans une perspective épistémologique il relie ces évolutions à des mutations conceptuelles significatives qui s’observent …
A Note on Nonlocality, Causation, and Lorentz Invariance
The status of a causal approach to EPR-Bell nonlocal correlations in terms of a counterfactual framework for causation is considered. It is argued that when the relativistic spacetime structure of the events is taken into due account, the adoption of this approach is best motivated by the assumption of a preferred frame of reference, an assumption that seems even more in need of justification than the causal theory itself
Contextualism and Nonlocality in the Algebra of EPR Observables
The Bell 1964 theorem states that nonlocality is a necessary feature of hidden variable theories that reproduce the statistical predictions of quantum mechanics. In view of the no-go theorems for non-contextual hidden variable theories already existing up to 1964, and due to Gleason and Bell, one is forced to acknowledge the contextual character of the hidden variable theory which the Bell 1964 theorem refers to. Both the mathematical and the phy…

Einstein, Bell, and Nonseparable Realism
In the context of stochastic hidden variable theories, Howard has argued that the role of separability—spatially separated systems possess distinct real states—has been underestimated. Howard claims that separability is equivalent to Jarrett‘s completeness: this equivalence should imply that the Bell theorem forces us to give up either separability or locality. Howard's claim, however, is shown to be ill founded since it is based on an implausibl…
