Focus: Physics
The objective of this course is to explain how Prof. Wolfgang Smith solves “The Quantum Enigma” (the title of one of his books). In essence, Prof. Smith offers a meaningful interpretation of quantum physics based on the forgotten Aristotelian dimension matter-form. The plan of this course can be changed, but let’s try the following:
Lecture 1 – Introductory remarks about quantum physics. (2h)
Lecture 2 – Brief introduction to some Aristotelian notions. (2h)
Lecture 3 – Intelligible quantum physics? (2h)
Lecture 4 – Questions and final remarks. (2h)
