Complementarity and Unity of Knowledge. . 330 $aIn this study Arun Bala examines the implications that Niels Bohr?s principle of complementarity holds for fields beyond physics. Bohr, one of the founding figures of modern quantum physics, argued that the principle of complementarity he proposed for understanding atomic processes has parallels in psychology, biology, and social science, as well as in Buddhist and Taoist thought. But Bohr failed to offer any explanation for why complementarity might extend beyond physics, and his claims have been widely rejected by scientists as empty speculation. Scientific scepticism has only been reinforced by the naïve enthusiasm of postmodern relativists and New Age intuitionists, who seize upon Bohr?s ideas to justify anti-realist and mystical positions. Arun Bala offers a detailed defence of Bohr?s claim that complementarity has far-reaching implications for the biological and social sciences, as well as for comparative philosophies of science, by explaining Bohr?s parallels as responses to the omnipresence of grown properties in nature. . 606 $aPhilosophy and science 606 $aQuantum field theory 606 $aString theory 606 $aSex (Psychology) 606 $aGender expression 606 $aPhilosophy of Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E34000 606 $aQuantum Field Theories, String Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19048 606 $aGender Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y20090 615 0$aPhilosophy and science. 615 0$aQuantum field theory. 615 0$aString theory. 615 0$aSex (Psychology). 615 0$aGender expression. 615 14$aPhilosophy of Science. 615 24$aQuantum Field Theories, String Theory. 615 24$aGender Studies. 676 $a501 700 $aBala$b Arun$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0926595 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910155277903321 996 $aComplementarity Beyond Physics$92080739 997 $aUNINA
