Formation and Logic of Quantum Mechanics 3 Volume Set (Vol. I: The Formation of Atomic Models, Vol. II: The Way to Quantum Mechanics, Vol. III: The ... and Logic of Quantum Mechanics) (Vol 1)

This text analyzes the intricate logical process through which the quantum theory was developed, and shows that the quantum mechanics thus established is governed by stereo-structural logic. The method of analysis is based on Mituo Taketani's three-stage theory of scientific cognition, which was presented and developed in close connection with Yukawa's theory of the meson. According to the three-stage theory, scientific cognition proceeds through a series of coiling turns of the phenomenological, substantialistic and essentialistic stages. The old quantum mechanics is shown to be in a substantialistic stage, followed by the quantum mechanics in the corresponding essentialistic stage.
