Heisenberg and the Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics

This book traces the development of Heisenberg's philosophy of quantum mechanics, beginning with his mid-1920s positivism, through his 1930s neo-Kantian reading of Bohr, and culminating with his 'linguistic turn' in the 1940s and 1950s. It focuses on the nature of this transformation in Heisenberg's thought and its wider philosophical context.
