About the event

For World Philosophy Day, the Trento section of the Società Filosofica Italiana presents an afternoon at MUSE exploring philosophical and scientific ideas through readings from Heisenberg, Hume and Plato. The programme is aimed at teachers and university students and includes a visit to the exhibition Il Parlamento della Biodiversità.

Alice Di Noto and Valter Moretti will discuss Einstein’s epistemology through his exchange with Heisenberg on the foundations of quantum mechanics, as recounted in Heisenberg’s scientific autobiography. Their contribution takes a historical and philosophical perspective.
