Su questo libro

Informazioni sull?autore

PIETER VERMAAS studied philosophy and theoretical physics in his home town at the University of Amsterdam. He obtained his PhD with research on modal interpretations of quantum mechanics at Utrecht University with Dennis Dieks. He published several papers on especially the modal interpretation in the version proposed by Simon Kochen, Dennis Dieks and Richard Healey, in physics and philosophy journals ranging from Physical Review Letters to Minnesota Studies of Philosophy of Science. Together with Dennis Dieks he proposed a generalised modal interpretation. This generalisation has since formed the basis of much further research on modal interpretations. He bas worked at the University of Cambridge with a British Council Fellowship. Currently he is a Research Fellow at the Delft University of Technology, where he is involved in developing the new field of philosophy of technology.
