Quantum Reality, Relativistic Causality, and Closing the Epistemic Circle Essays in Honour of Abner Shimony /
In July 2006, a major international conference was held at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, Canada, to celebrate the career and work of a remarkable man of letters. Abner Shimony, who is well known for his pioneering contributions to foundations of quantum mechanics, is a physicist a...
