Indeterminacy in the World

Om Indeterminacy in the World

"The way we represent the world in thought and language is shot through with indeterminacy: we speak of red apples, and yellow apples, without thereby committing to any sharp cutoff between the application of the predicate 'red' and of the predicate 'yellow'. But can reality itself be indeterminate? In other words, can indeterminacy originate in the mindindependent world, and not only in our representations? If so, can the phenomenon also arise at the microscopic scale of fundamental physics? The first part of this volume provides a brief overview of the question of indeterminacy. Part two discusses the thesis that the world is comprised of indeterminate objects, whereas part three focuses on the thesis that there are indeterminate states of affairs. Finally, part four is devoted to the case study of indeterminacy in quantum physics"--
