Overview

This book outlines the contours of the various debates on quantum theory, and presents an interpretation of it which, while metaphysically realist, resolves most of the paradoxes that have arisen. It aims to make these issues of interest not only to the specialist philosopher and physicist but also to readers who do not have a background in physics. A set of technical appendices provides a graduated series of proofs which introduce the quantum theory of continuous-valued quantities.

`A highly sophisticated and very competent work.' British Journal for the Philosophy of Science `The writing is admirably clear and Krips goes to great pains to explain the formal devices he uses ... a careful reading should be able to bring the relatively uninitiated right up to the cutting edge of research in philosophy of quantum physics.'
