  • Comparative Studies Between Emerson and Chinese Philosophy

    Nature, Spirituality and Place

    by Shan Gao ...
    Series series Philosophy and Religion (R0)
    This book explores how Emerson's and Zhuang Zi’s exploration of spirituality in nature shapes different senses of place. It explores spirituality as a pursuit of life's meaning and self-transcendence, particularly relevant amidst rapid urbanization, which separates more people from their land and relocates them into cities. This concept has garnered attention in fields such as religion, philosophy ... Read more

  • Consciousness and Quantum Mechanics

    Edited by Shan Gao ...
    Series series Philosophy of Mind
    Consciousness and quantum mechanics are two great mysteries of our time--and recently scholars have postulated a deeper connection between them. Exploring this possible connection can be fruitful: an analysis of the conscious mind and psychophysical connection can be indispensable in understanding quantum mechanics and solving the notorious measurement problem, and there is also likely some kind ...

  • Collapse of the Wave Function

    Models, Ontology, Origin, and Implications

    Edited by Shan Gao ...
    This is the first single volume about the collapse theories of quantum mechanics, which is becoming a very active field of research in both physics and philosophy. In standard quantum mechanics, it is postulated that when the wave function of a quantum system is measured, it no longer follows the Schrödinger equation, but instantaneously and randomly collapses to one of the wave functions that ...
