✦ Synopsis


J. F. I. metry, invariance, continuity and the like. He thus develops the current Bohr-Helsenberg account, resting on Born's statistical interpretation, into a unitary theory. The book begins with a philosophical discussion of determinism and chance, in which the uncertainty of an individual event in a statistical group is linked to the postulate of macro-physical cause-effect continuity. Chapter Two deals with the states of a microphysical object in general, and the transition probabilities from state to state in reaction to macro-physlcal measuring instruments. Chapter Three suggests that the quantum law of probability interference is not a mere oddity, but a consequence of the nature of probability itself as a lawful connection between events.

Chapter Four gives a deduction of the most characteristic quantum feature---the wave-like relation between coordinates and momenta--from non-quantal theorems.

The book concludes with a critical survey of present fashions in quantum philosophy and language.
