The Philosophical Hilbert Space

This article draws a fascinating parallel between the abstract realms of quantum mechanics and philosophy. It proposes considering philosophical inquiry as navigating through a "Philosophical Hilbert Space" (PHS) – a conceptual expanse akin to the infinite dimensions of Hilbert space in quantum theory. The article explores how philosophical positions can be envisioned as points or vectors within this space, existing in states of superposition until the act of argumentation or formulating a concrete theory causes a "collapse" into a defined stance, much like wave function collapse in quantum measurements. It also delves into the interconnectedness and "entanglement" of ideas across different philosophical domains, mirroring the phenomenon of quantum entanglement. The article concludes by suggesting that embracing this quantum-inspired view of philosophy could revolutionize our approach to metaphysical exploration, just as quantum mechanics transformed our understanding of the physical world.

Behaviorism and the Philosophy of Mind

The nature of mind —in particular, its qualitative character— can be understood through the observation of behavior from a 3rd-person perspective. This is especially the case if one is intimately acquainted with the subject in question’s behavior.
