Abstract
This workshop is concerned with two topics, foundations of quantum theory and of irreversible statistical mechanics, which might appear quite different. Yet the current problems in both fields are basically the same, two different aspects of a deep conceptual hang up that permeates not only physics, but all fields that use probability theory.
