Experimental Metaphysics: Quantum Mechanical Studies for Abner Shimony, Volume One

Boston Studies in the Philosophy and History of Science #193

by Robert S. Cohen (Editor), Michael Horne (Series Editor), John J. Stachel (Series Editor)

Experimental Metaphysics is intended for theoretical physicists and philosophers of science and is devoted to fundamental issues in the quantum domain. The book presents a number of discussions of experiments, theoretical puzzles and alternative interpretations, and philosophical treatments of the metaphysical foundations of science and the way these throw a scientific light on metaphysics. Hence the `experimental metaphysics' is a term coined by Abner Shimony, to whom the book is dedicated.
This collection of 16 scientific and philosophical essays by leading physicists, philosophers and historians of science deals with current research and the most basic issues in quantum physics.
