Concern with the exact predictability of events under guidance from scientific determinism led to speculation, then acknowledgement of quantum indeterminacy. But distinctions were made between what is physically indeterminate out there and what is indeterminable by human observation or in human action--over here, on the inside, right now. The implications of these insights into indeterminacy and indeterminabilities for practical and theoretical knowledge span physics, philosophy, ontology, causality, and the philosophy of mind. In this book, contributors from a range of disciplines consider the concept of indeterminacy and a few varieties of indeterminability, with attention to the distinctions between the two phenomena, appropriate approaches for examining both, and the differences vis-a-vis uncertainty, vagueness, and ambiguity. 606 $aDefinition (Philosophy) 606 $aUncertainty 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aDefinition (Philosophy) 615 0$aUncertainty. 676 $a111 701 $aCiprut$b Jose V$01026731 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454290803321 996 $aIndeterminacy$92471755 997 $aUNINA
