MIND INDEPENDENT WORLD: INTERFACE OF SCIENTIFIC REALISM AND QUANTUM PHYSICS
Satwant Kaur , Piyush , Desh Deepak Singh , Chirmi Acharya
Abstract
The paper looks into one of the most debatable topics in the realm of philosophy of science– the
relationship between scientific realism and quantum mechanics. To commence, the subject matter of
scientific realism and basic concepts of quantum mechanics will be familiar. The briefing onthe EPR
paradox and Bell's theorem will develop an understanding of how quantum mechanics is used in
refutingthe mind-independent domain of the metaphysical thesis of scientific realism.Elucidation of the
measurement problem will be carried out to understand that the cognitive abilities of an observer do
not intervene in the measuring process.It will be observed that despite the measurement problem, the
existence of a mind-independent world cannot be denied.
