The interplay between non-relativistic quantum theory and metaphysics has generated radically opposed interpretations for quantum theory: Niels Bohr's orthodox interpretation, and Einstein's realist one. Out of this debate emerged the classical first-generation paradoxes of quantum theory: Schroedinger's Cat and the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradoxes. More recently a range of new paradoxes has emerged from the work of J.S.Bell which questions the local nature of quantum theory, prefiguring a return either to an action-at-a-distance metaphysics or to a radically holistic conception of matter. This book outlines the contours of these debates, and presents an interpretation of quantum theory which, while metaphysically realist, resolves most of these paradoxes. It aims to make these issues of interest not only to the specialist philosopher and physicist but also to readers who are interested in philosophical issues but who do not have a background in physics. A set of technical appendices provides a graduated series of proofs which introduce the quantum theory of continuous-valued quantities.
