Quantum Mechanics and Fundamentality

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? ). 

The book contains contributions from both physicists (including Nobel Prize winner Gerard 't Hooft), science communicators andphilosophers.
