1. Introduction

The intricate relationship between Buddhist philosophy and quantum physics is a captivating intersection of thought. In the realms of the Pramana and Mādhyamaka schools, reality’s nature emerges as a dialogue between our mind and the world outside. Quantum physics similarly challenges our traditional notions of an objective reality.

Join Prof. John Dunne, Dr. Michel Bitbol, and Prof. Carlo Rovelli in this bonus lesson as they discuss these parallels, drawing from their expertise in Buddhist thought and quantum mechanics. Their conversation offers a unique perspective on the interwoven fabric of cognition, perception, and the universe. Dive in for a deeper understanding of reality through this enriching dialogue.
