论文摘要
建构主义认识论认为所有真理都是可以知道的。人们可能会问建构主义在多大程度上与使用成功的科学理论从推理获得的归化认识论和知识兼容。如果量子理论正确地描述了物理世界的结构,并且如果将单位概率视为知识观察到有关测量结果的量子理论推断,我们证明无法维持建构主义。我们的推导与直觉和量子命题逻辑兼容。 Frauchiger-Renner定理暗示了这一结果,尽管它也很重要。
Constructivist epistemology posits that all truths are knowable. One might ask to what extent constructivism is compatible with naturalized epistemology and knowledge obtained from inference-making using successful scientific theories. If quantum theory correctly describes the structure of the physical world, and if quantum theoretic inferences about which measurement outcomes will be observed with unit probability count as knowledge, we demonstrate that constructivism cannot be upheld. Our derivation is compatible with both intuitionistic and quantum propositional logic. This result is implied by the Frauchiger-Renner theorem, though it is of independent importance as well.
