Abstrakt

Four empirical formulations of the causality principle, due respectively to Laplace, Kant, John S. Mill and Hume, are discussed in relation to the philosophy of quantum mechanics, showing how they are all violated by the basic principles of the Copenhagen interpretation, whereas they are perfectly compatible, with the only exception of Laplacean determinism, with a realistic reinterpretation of the present theory.
