His dissertation examines attempts to use results from the field of decoherence theory in quantum physics to solve the quantum measurement problem, a fundamental interpretive puzzle about the relationship between the quantum world and the macroscopic physical objects of experience. The dissertation, entitled &#8220;The Role of Decoherence in the Emergence of Definite Properties,&#8221; explores in particular the synergy between decoherence theory and the Everett or \u201cmany worlds\u201d interpretation of quantum mechanics. Arthur&#8217;s other interests include broader issues in the philosophy of science, particularly causation and scientific realism, as well as philosophy of time and philosophical issues involving science and religion.<\/p>\n<p><!-- begin-migrated-from-panel-builder --><!-- end-migrated-from-panel-builder --><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Office:\u00a0Holland Hall 413 Phone:\u00a0(507) 786-3172 Email:\u00a0cunninga@stolaf.edu Ph.D., M.A., University of Pittsburgh; B.S., B.A., University of Notre Dame Arthur&#8217;s area of specialization is the philosophy of physics, with a focus on [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":209,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-12","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/philosophy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/12","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/philosophy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/philosophy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/philosophy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/209"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/philosophy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/philosophy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/12\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3893,"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/philosophy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/12\/revisions\/3893"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/philosophy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
