Complementarity Beyond Physics

Více o knize

Arun Bala explores Niels Bohr's principle of complementarity and its suggested relevance across various fields, including psychology, biology, and social science, as well as connections to Buddhist and Taoist philosophies. While Bohr introduced this principle to elucidate atomic processes, he did not provide a rationale for its broader application, leading to skepticism among scientists. Bala critiques the misinterpretation of Bohr's ideas by postmodern relativists and New Age thinkers, who often use them to support anti-realist and mystical viewpoints.
