I will open by saying I am neither a philosopher or very knowledgeable on quantum mechanics, so perhaps this question is meaningless. But I was thinking the other day along these lines. I am also not great at expressing this idea so bear with me.
-
Most modern (western) philosophy depends on the belief that logic will allow us to get at the truth in some capacity.
-
Quantum mechanics seems to fly in the face of human logic, yet we are reasonably sure it is correct.
-
If thats the case, how can we be certain logic will allow us to arrive at correct conclusions about anything if it does not apply universally?
I realize I may be way off base here and this is an epistomological minefield, but Im sure this has been thought through in the philosophical world.
Just curious as to how this has been addressed and maybe even any literature you could point me to!
Thanks!
Theres a lot to unpack there so I will say for now I will bookmark this and revisit! Life is busy and clearly I have a lot more to learn before I can really engage in this meaningfully. I enjoy philosophy because I enjoy this line of questioning but this post was simply something that popped into my head, not a fully thought out argument.
Also I didnt realize this was in the .ml fediverse. I dont say that disparagingly, only that I suspect it will lead to mostly people of broadly similar philosophical backgrounds positing answers. Id be interested in a wider array of philosophical beliefs if you have any good resources.
