By questioning the validity of some of our basic concepts, such as
space, object, and causality, quantum physics contributes quite
decisively to the dramatic changes now taking place in our world
picture.This book is addressed not only to physicists at an early
stage in their careers (the first or second year graduate student)
but also to philosophers, as well as to all the senior physicists
interested in the interpretation problem. Beginning with a chapter
that could be described as ?philosophy for physicists,? it presents
an in-depth analysis of present-day quantum mechanical concepts, an
analysis of physicists and philosophers alike. Specifically, it
first offers an extensive critical analysis of such topics as the
Einstein, Podolsky, Rosen reality criterion, nonseparatability, the
quantum measurement riddle, decoherence theory, consistent
histories approaches and ontologically interpretable theories. All
this then naturally leads to philosophical questions concerning, in
particular, intersubjective agreement and the limit of realism. And
a thorough examination of this whole material finally leads to the
view that distinguishing between empirical reality and a veiled
man-independent reality yields an acceptable answer to the
perplexing question of how to interpret quantum physics. Veiled
Reality offers nonspecialists, including students in physics,
philosophy and the history of science, an accessible perspective on
basic problems in the foundations of physics.
