Abstract

I investigate the metaphysical consequences of the theory andquantum phenomenon. Outlining some of the main aspects of contemporary philosophical debate about the interpretation of quantum theory. I analyzing three important recent works: Quantum Ontology: A Guide for the Metaphysics of Quantum Mechanics (2016) de Lewis; Philosophy of Physics (2019) de Maudlin; e The Conceptual Foundations of Quantum Mechanics (2019) de Barrett. Claiming, from the The Grand Design of Hawking and Mlodinow (2010), that a realistic interpretation of quantum theory, and your influence on the current state of physical theory, suggests that the metaphysical principle of the unity of physical laws, and the search for a unified physical theory, is empirically unjustified. Defending the hypothesis of partial fiscal laws and theories.
