Nicholas MAXWELL

I put forward a micro realistic, probabilistic version of quantum theory, which specifies the precise nature of quantum entities thus solving the quantum wave/particle dilemma, and which both reproduces the empirical success of orthodox quantum theory, an... see more

Según Recanati, hay un argumento anticontextualista que tiene su origen en Grice. En este artículo demuestro que ese argumento no puede estar en Grice si tenemos en cuenta la explicación que ofrece de ciertos ejemplos y su teoría de las implicaturas. Gric... see more
