Symmetries and the constitution of objectivity in quantum physics: A study on the non-representationalist theories of knowledge

The proposed project presents an original approach, bordering between epistemology and theoretical physics, to address those philosophical issues. Such an approach adopts both an instrumentalist conception of theories and a constructivist conception of knowledge, in which experimental facts and theoretical models are co-constituted through scientific practice.
