Jessica Oddan's new publication

The Philosophy Department's own Jessica Oddan has published a new article in the European Journal for Philosophy of Science, titled Reconstructions of quantum theory: methodology and the role of axiomatization. 

This article discusses "Hardy’s “Quantum Theory from Five Reasonable Axioms” (2001), arguing that reconstructions represent a modern usage of axiomatization with significant points of continuity to von Neumann’s axiomatizations in quantum mechanics. In particular, [Oden] show[s] that Hardy and von Neumann share similar methodological ordering, have a common operational framing, and insist on the empirical basis of axioms."

Congratulations to Jessica on this achievement.
