Tim Maudlin is professor of philosophy at New York University. He is the author of Philosophy of Physics: Space and Time (Princeton), Quantum Non-Locality and Relativity: Metaphysical Intimations of Modern Physics, The Metaphysics within Physics, and Truth and Paradox.
This is an exceptionally clear account of a specific line in the interpretation of quantum mechanics, one that Tim Maudlin has been championing with increasing precision and care for twenty years, and which has found many adherents in the philosophy of physics community. The book also does a very good job of explaining, in nontechnical terms, the main conceptual puzzles of quantum mechanics in a style very conducive to understanding by philosophers. And Maudlin's way of getting at quantum weirdness through eight experiments is beautiful. --David Wallace, University of Southern California Tim Maudlin is one of the world's leading experts on the philosophy of physics, and he has a gift for digging deeply into foundations and explaining clearly what is there. This excellent book will be very valuable to students first encountering the philosophy of quantum mechanics. Maudlin's strategy of introducing the subject through eight experiments is itself worth the price of admission. --Sean Carroll, California Institute of Technology
