| Summary: | There have been many attempts to undertand the connections between quantum theory and Whiteheadian process philosophy However, due to the ontological considerations, it is very important to specify which interpretation of quantum theory one embraces before inquiring into the details of Whitehead’s philosophy of organism. In this article, I argue that Ghirardi-Rimini-Weber (GRW) collapse interpretation of quantum theory serves as a suitable point of departure for future endeavors. Comparisons with manyworlds interpretation and decoherence approach have also been provided. |
