: Omnès describes a divide that emerged between our intuitive common sense and the abstract, often incomprehensible world described by modern physics , mathematics, and logic.

: Originally published by Princeton University Press in 1999.

: He argues that this divide can be healed using the consistent-histories approach to quantum mechanics, which he believes provides a firm scientific and philosophical foundation for common sense.

In this work, Omnès, a prominent quantum physicist, explores the history of science and philosophy—from ancient Greece to modern times—to address deep questions about reality and knowledge. Key Concepts in the Book

: The book seeks to rebuild the foundations of knowledge , arguing that while quantum reality is counter-intuitive, it is not logically inconsistent with the macroscopic world we perceive. Publication and Availability
