Quantum Physics Meets Philosophy of Mind
Organizers:
Antonella Corradini (Catholic University of Milan),
Uwe Meixner (University of
Augsburg)
Date: 4 - 6 June 2013
Location: Catholic University of Milan
Official Program
The program below is annotated with references to the work of the participants. Most of the references are to PDFs or webpages that I have uploaded to the
Information Philosopher website, so they are immediately available to you. When the participant's name is a link, it goes to the scientist's or philosopher's webpage on my I-Phi site, or to the participant's home or wiki page.
