4th February

Following on from last week's enjoyable discussion of the 'solar system atom', our next session will shift focus to explore the psychological roots of complementarity in works by William James and Niels Bohr.
  • William James, The Principles of Psychology (1890), Vol. 1, Chapter IX, "The stream of thought". London: Macmillan and Co, 1891, pp. 224-290 (esp. pp. 229-248).
  • Niels Bohr, "The Quantum of Action and the Description of Nature" (1929). In Atomic Theory and the Description of Nature. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1934, pp. 92-101.
Photocopied reading packs containing these extracts, as well as the rest of the term's material, will be available from Monday afternoon (28th) in the Whipple Library box-file.

We hope to see you in Darwin College from 7.30-9pm!
