This edited collection provides new perspectives on some
metaphysical questions arising in quantum mechanics. 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 (is quantum theory fundamental? If so, what is its
fundamental ontology?), ontological dependence (how do ordinary
objects exist even if they are not fundamental?), realism (what
kind of realism is compatible with quantum theory?), indeterminacy
(can the world itself exhibit ontological indeterminacy?).Â
The book contains contributions from both physicists (including
Nobel Prize winner Gerard 't Hooft), science communicators and
philosophers.Â
