The Pauli-Jung conjecture and its impact today

Harald Atmanspacher A, Christopher A. Fuchs

Published Jan 1, 2014• 45 citations
OpenAlex

Abstract

Related to the key areas of Pauli''s and Jung''s joint interests, the book covers overlapping issues from the perspectives of physics, philosophy, and psychology. Of primary significance are epistemological questions connected to issues such as realism, measurement, observation, consciousness, and the unconscious. The contributions assess the extensive material that we have about Pauli''s and Jung''s ideas today, with particular respect to concrete research questions and projects based on and re...

Atoms and consciousness as complementary elements of reality

Kalervo V. Laurikainen

Describing Wolfgang Pauli's philosophical views is a delicate matter. In addition to his extensive study of Kepler, Pauli published only short epistemological articles (not available in English translation). His extraordinarily wide correspondence is the best source for understanding Pauli's philosophical thought. Forming a coherent picture of Pauli's philosophy on the basis of his correspondence is, however, like doing a puzzle where half of the pieces are missing. The author has been doing this puzzle for more than ten years, inspired by the exceptionally profound ideas presented in the available documents, and wish to draw more general attention to Pauli's philosophy. The article aims at describing the conception of reality which Pauli shaped on the basis of quantum theory. It points out in particular that philosophical and psychological viewpoints which Pauli has emphasised, are inconsistent with important trends in basic research today. Characteristic quotations from Pauli's writings, related to the questions discussed, are given in the appendix.

Synchronicity, Mind, and Matter

Włodzisław Duch

UBLICATION OF the Pauli-Jung correspondence (Pauli & Jung, 1992) leaves no doubt that Wolfgang Pauli devoted much thought to the concept of synchronicity, or the acausal synchronicity of meaningful events.This concept was introduced by C. G. Jung (Jung & Pauli, 1952/1973) in a book that also includes Pauli's contribution.Despite many discussions of synchronicity that Pauli had with scientists working at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, USA (where he spent his war years), the idea was somehow abandoned.Physicists were not ready to discuss acausal coincidences between events distant in time and space, mental experiences (dreams, intentions, thoughts), and meaning.Pauli himself was famous for creating trouble in laboratories he visited, and apparently he

Veiled Reality

Bernard d’Espagnat

By questioning the validity of some of our basic concepts, such as space, object, and causality, quantum physics contributes quite decisively to the dramatic changes now taking place in our world picture.This book is addressed not only to physicists at an early stage in their careers (the first or second year graduate student) but also to philosophers, as well as to all the senior physicists interested in the interpretation problem. Beginning with a chapter that could be described as ?philosophy for physicists,? it presents an in-depth analysis of present-day quantum mechanical concepts, an analysis of physicists and philosophers alike. Specifically, it first offers an extensive critical analysis of such topics as the Einstein, Podolsky, Rosen reality criterion, nonseparatability, the quantum measurement riddle, decoherence theory, consistent histories approaches and ontologically interpretable theories. All this then naturally leads to philosophical questions concerning, in particular, intersubjective agreement and the limit of realism. And a thorough examination of this whole material finally leads to the view that distinguishing between empirical reality and a veiled man-independent reality yields an acceptable answer to the perplexing question of how to interpret quantum physics. Veiled Reality offers nonspecialists, including students in physics, philosophy and the history of science, an accessible perspective on basic problems in the foundations of physics.
