DESCRIPTION:<p><strong>CASIP Lecture: Values and Perspectives in Physics</strong></p>\n<p><strong>Organizer: Institute of Philosophy\, Chinese Academy of Sciences&nbsp\;(CASIP</strong>)</p>\n\n<p><strong>Speaker: Dennis Dieks (Utrecht University)</strong></p>\n<p><strong><br></strong></p>\n<p><strong>Abstract</strong></p>\n<p>It is an important philosophical insight that the practice of science is not governed by strict rules but in many instances involves value-dependent judgments\, which may vary between\, and even within\, scientific subcommunities. In the talk we will focus on physics and its philosophy and consider several examples: perspective-dependent decisions concerning theory choice\, judgments about the adequacy of explanations\, and differences about when genuine understanding is attained. Interestingly\, the resulting &ldquo\;fragmented&rdquo\; picture is paralleled by recent proposals within physics itself\, according to which even descriptions of physical systems and their properties are perspective-dependent.</p>\n<p><strong>Biography</strong></p>\n<p>Dennis Dieks is a full professor at the Descartes Centre for the History and Philosophy of the Sciences and the Humanities at Utrecht University\, and a member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences. Dieks has proved the no-cloning theorem and is one of the proponents of the modal interpretation of quantum mechanics. He has also been in charge of many important international academic organizations and journals.</p>\n<p><strong>Speaker: Dennis Dieks (Utrecht University)</strong></p>\n<p><strong><br></strong></p>\n<p><strong>Chair:</strong> Dong Luo (South China University of Technology)</p>\n<p><strong>Commentators:</strong></p>\n<p>Shan Gao (Shanxi University)</p>\n<p>Stefan Petkov (Beijing Normal University)</p>\n<p>Weichang Wang (Institute of Philosophy\, CASS)</p>\n<p>Guolin Wu (South China University of Technology)</p>\n<p><strong>Time: Friday\, 12th November&nbsp\;2021 4:30PM&mdash\;6:30PM(UTC+8)</strong></p>\n<p>Online Platform: <strong>Zoom</strong></p>\n<p>Zoom Address: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/4895505875</p>\n<p>Meeting ID: 489 550 5875</p>\n<p><strong>Language: English</strong></p>\n<p><strong>Contact:</strong></p>\n<p>Tung-Ying Wu: tungyingwu@outlook.com</p>
