Leibniz’s Principle, (Non-)Entanglement, and Pauli Exclusion
Both bosons and fermions satisfy a strong version of Leibniz’s Principle of the Identity of Indiscernibles (PII), and so are ontologically on a par with respect to the PII. This holds for non-entangled, non-product states and for physically entangled states—as it has been established in previous work. In this paper, the Leibniz strategy is completed by including the (bosonic) symmetric product states. A new understanding of Pauli’s Exclusion Prin…
Kants synthetisches Apriori
According to Kant, concepts can be used in three different ways, i.e. an empirical (= pre-philosophical) use, a transcendentally real (= philosophically inadequate) use, and a transcendentally ideal (= philosophically reasonable) use. Regarding the concept of the world as a whole, however, Kant misrepresents the empirical meaning and therefore overlooks the transcendentally ideal understanding of “everything”. Along this guiding line, the paper d…
Present’s actualizing and future’s becoming possible
The paper spells out the thesis that the crucial, substantial move of presentism should be to temporalize modality. The present is not simply actual, and the future not simply possible, but the present is becoming actual, and the present’s becoming actual is future’s becoming possible (and past’s becoming necessary). I will argue that by so temporalizing modality, as modes of becoming rather than of being, the presentists can make room for the fu…
Leibniz, Kant, and Referring in the Quantum Domain
The paper addresses the referring problem in quantum mechanics, by spelling out the alternatives with complete or individual concepts (Leibniz; in modern terms: definite descriptive proper names), with directly referential labels (standard formalism of quantum mechanics), and with intuition (Kant). The connection between the way of referring and some metaphysical theses about objects will be explained. Then, the paper intends to make plausible th…
Introduction
Elementary particles appear in different ways.Particles of the same kind (similar particles) share all state-independent properties like mass, charge, and spin quantum number; there are many similar particles, but they are indistinguishable with respect to a certain class of properties.However, the case might even be stronger: similar particles apparently share all state-dependent properties, like spatial location and spin projection.This threate…
Kant’s Ontology of Appearances and the Synthetic Apriori
Kant’s ontology of appearances implies that the numerical distinctness of empirical objects is grounded in their appearance-aspect, more precisely in space as pure intuition, in which alone such objects can be given. With distinguishing concepts things can only be thought: in contrast to Leibniz’s complete concepts and to Kripke’s rigid designators, Kant’s general concepts do not entail their referents analytically. They must be applied to intuit…
