Hardcover. Quantum theory launched a revolution in physics. But we have yet to understand the revolution's significance for philosophy. Richard Healey opens a path to such understanding. The first part of this book offers a self-contained but opinionated introduction to quantum theory. The second part assesses the theory's philosophical significance. Num Pages: 288 pages.

Hardback. Deals with the question of whether quantum mechanics can provide a picture of physical reality. This book presents a 'contextual quantum process theory' as a general framework for further interpretation. It outlines several such interpretations, and discusses ensuing problems of completeness and (non)locality. Series: Fundamental Theories of Physics. Num Pages: 297 pages, biography.
