In both science and philosophy, the twentieth century saw a radical breakdown of certainty in the human worldview. Quantum theorist Stig Stenholm presents Bohr and Wittgenstein as central figures undertaking the necessary replacement of apparent order and certainty with an understanding based on limited concepts in constant flux.

Stig Stenholm has carried out distinguished work in quantum optics for 40 years, holding professorships and research positions at the universities of Stuttgart and Helsinki, at IBM Research Laboratory, San Jose, California, and at the Optical Sciences Center, Tucson, Arizona, before his retirement from KTH Stockholm in 2004. He has received the Alexander von Humboldt Award, Germany, and The Homén Prize in Physics from the Societas Scientiarum Fennica.
