- Synopsis
- In this new edition, Arthur Fine looks at Einstein's philosophy of science and develops his own views on realism. A new Afterword discusses the reaction to Fine's own theory. What really led Einstein . . . to renounce the new quantum order? For those interested in this question, this book is compulsory reading. OCoHarvey R. Brown, "American Journal of Physics" Fine has successfully combined a historical account of Einstein's philosophical views on quantum mechanics and a discussion of some of the philosophical problems associated with the interpretation of quantum theory with a discussion of some of the contemporary questions concerning realism and antirealism. . . . Clear, thoughtful, and] well-written. OCoAllan Franklin, "Annals of Science" Attempts, from Einstein's published works and unpublished correspondence, to piece together a coherent picture of 'Einstein realism. ' Especially illuminating are the letters between Einstein and fellow realist SchrAdinger, as the latter was composing his famous 'SchrAdinger-Cat' paper. OCoNick Herbert, "New Scientist" Beautifully clear. . . . Fine's analysis is penetrating, his own results original and important. . . . The book is a splendid combination of new ways to think about quantum mechanics, about realism, and about Einstein's views of both. OCoNancy Cartwright, "Isis" "
