These questions have been long-standing and are of continued interest to researchers and graduate students working in physics, philosophy of physics, and metaphysics. It features contributions from a diverse set of researchers, ranging from senior scholars to junior academics, working in varied fields, from physics to philosophy of physics and metaphysics. The contributors reflect on issues about fundamentality (\u003ci\u003eis quantum theory fundamental? If so, what is its fundamental ontology?\u003c\/i\u003e), ontological dependence (\u003ci\u003ehow do ordinary objects exist even if they are not fundamental?\u003c\/i\u003e), realism (\u003ci\u003ewhat kind of realism is compatible with quantum theory?\u003c\/i\u003e), indeterminacy (\u003ci\u003ecan the world itself exhibit ontological indeterminacy?\u003c\/i\u003e). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book contains contributions from both physicists (including Nobel Prize winner Gerard 't Hooft), science communicators and philosophers. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Valia Allori\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/28\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 415\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.89d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783030996444\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eValia Allori \u003c\/b\u003ehas studied physics and philosophy first in Italy, her home country, and then in the United States. She has worked in the foundations of quantum mechanics, with the aim of understanding how we can use our best physical theory to answer general metaphysical questions about the nature of reality.
