  1. An Epistemic Interpretation of Quantum Probability via Contextuality.Claudio Garola - 2020 - Foundations of Science 25 (1):105-120.
    According to a standard view, quantum mechanics is a contextual theory and quantum probability does not satisfy Kolmogorov’s axioms. We show, by considering the macroscopic contexts associated with measurement procedures and the microscopic contexts underlying them, that one can interpret quantum probability as epistemic, despite its non-Kolmogorovian structure. To attain this result we introduce a predicate language L, a classical probability measure on it and a family of classical probability measures on sets of μ-contexts, each element of the family corresponding (...)

  • Demolishing Prejudices to Get to the Foundations: A Criterion of Demarcation for Fundamentality.Flavio Del Santo & Chiara Cardelli - 2020 - Foundations of Science 25 (3):827-843.
    In this paper, we reject commonly accepted views on fundamentality in science, either based on bottom-up construction or top-down reduction to isolate the alleged fundamental entities. We do not introduce any new scientific methodology, but rather describe the current scientific methodology and show how it entails an inherent search for foundations of science. This is achieved by phrasing metaphysical assumptions into falsifiable statements and define as fundamental those that survive empirical tests. The ones that are falsified are rejected, and the (...)
