Causalidade e incerteza na natureza : do determinismo à incerteza segundo Heisenberg

Abstract

The purpose of this monograph will be to analyze the conceptual interpretation of physicist Werner Karl Heisenberg, on the problem of objectivity of two quantum phenomena, or to investigate the minor constituents of nature around the metaphysical problem in Greek philosophy. For Heisenberg, the ontology of modern science, based on non-materialism and non-determinism, is not entirely more valid in the new atomic physics. Consequently, it becomes necessary to construct a new ontological basis, where antirealism, supported by a pure formalism, emerges as an essential principle of a new natural philosophy. This work aims to investigate antirealist ontology, an approach to Heisenberg’s philosophical tradition and history of science within quantum theory.
