Paperback. An account of the philosophical foundations of quantum theory. Hughes analyzes the Hilbert-space models used in quantum theory and explains why they are so successful. He goes on to show how the very suitability of Hilbert spaces for modelling the quantum world gives rise to problems. Num Pages: 384 pages, 71 line illustrations. BIC Classification: PDA; PHQ. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 25. Weight in Grams: 442.

Steven French articulates and defends the bold claim that there are no objects in the world. He draws on metaphysics and philosophy of science to argue for structural realism-the position that we live in a world of structures-and defends a form of eliminativism about objects that sets laws and symmetry principles at the heart of ontology. Num Pages: 416 pages. BIC Classification: HPJ; PDA; PH. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 165 x 235 x 29. Weight in Grams: 774.
