Well, in defence of poor old Kant, let us remember that together with Laplace he was the discoverer of the nebular hypothesis about the formation of solar systems... I gues a similar story holds about galaxies...
So the man was not totally useless. And of course there is a strong Kantian aspect to the Kopenhagen interpretation of QM and in general in theories about subjective reduction (consciousness collapses the wave function).... But I gues that on this forum WMI is most popular... Personally I still feel most attracted to subjective reduction, because it fits so well with the apparent irreducibility of consciousness to physical reality and it explains the subjective experience of the flow of time (we constantly create classical reality through our -- collective -- observation of.the quantum reality). And of course I was not arguing against induction... just saying that Popper's falsification principle is itself not falsifiable nor based on induction... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
