On Modal Interpretation Of Quantum Mechanics And Its Methodology

The collapse of wave packet is the core of measurement problems in Quantum Mechanics. It depicts the change before and after measurement, which is so discontinuous and undeterministic that measurement becomes an independent, crabbed and mysterious physical phenomenon. Modal interpretation is one of the interpretations that have the best foreground after standard interpretation and hidden-variables theory. P.E.Vermmas said, "Modal interpretations are in that sense true philosopher's understandings of quantum mechanics". This dissertation will further develop this new theory and thorough analysis its philosophy.This dissertation has two main analysis parts: On Physics and On Philosophy. The first part "On Physics" tries to analyze the cause and effect of measurement problems, including its philosophy as viewed from historism. It expounds the main thought which hides after deep physics on the standpoint of philosophy. It also reviews the new physical picture of this new theory. The second part "On Philosophy" mainly explains the methods on methodology, which penetrate in modal interpretation. The linguistic analysis methods are in all along the interpretation so they are deemed to the keys in modal interpretation. Three obvious methods are discussed, which are semantics, metaphor and context, especially their essences, characters and significances.The last part of this dissertation "Conclusions" sums up the results of the parts before that. The first, only for "modal interpretation", is that modal interpretation will go forward to a new modal realism. The second, about measurement problems of quantum mechanics, is that the research for this problem will become an open work. The third is for linguistic analysis methods, from which we can find that semantics, metaphor and context blend in well with the traditional methods in natural science.The significances of this research are following. Firstly, this research is the philosophical analysis about the newest understandings and methods to measurement problems in micro world. Secondly, modal interpretation as a case explains that philosophical thought can settle physical problems. Thirdly, modal interpretation provides methodology enlightenment for amalgamation of humanism and scientism. Fourthly, the research is the sponsor, which will impulse these researches in this yield to deeper and profounder one. Lastly, this research has more important value for students and scholars majoring in philosophy of science and natural science.
