In this new edition, Arthur 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.-Harvey 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 Clear, thoughtful, and well-written.-Allan Franklin, Annals of Science Attempts, from Einstein's published works and unpublished correspondence, to piece together a coherent picture of 'Einstein realism.'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 Schrodinger, as the latter was composing his famous 'Schrodinger-Cat' paper.-Nick 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.-Nancy Cartwright, Isis
Fine et al. (Fri,) studied this question.
