A QBist Ontology
arXiv Preprint Archive May 25, 2020 U. J. Mohrhoff
Reality is relative to consciousness or experience, not a single mind-independent world. Drawing from QBism, Kant, Bohr, Schrödinger, the Upanishads, and Sri Aurobindo, the ontology proposes different poises of consciousness, including a universal consciousness where all individuals are aspects of one whole. This framework resolves philosophical issues in science arising from reifying instruments or calculational tools and from ignoring the human experiential context of science. It also addresses problems in the philosophy of mind, such as intentionality and Husserl's paradox of the mutual inclusion of self and world.
