Tataiat asked:

Discuss in detail about the influence of "Quantum Theory" on the philosophical field. And I would like
you to direct me toward accessible resources (Professors or websites etc.) in order to deepen my
knowledge on this topic.

============

There is a massive literature on this, dating from the introduction to QM in the 20s to the present, with
branches in physics, ontology, metaphysics, and epistemology, relating to issues running from the
nature of knowledge to the nature of reality to the nature of consciousness. You can spend the next
5-10 years getting to be an expert in this area if you want, with my blessing... but you're not going to
get any sort of detail in this forum.
