Overview
The third edition of Quantum Non-Locality and Relativity has been carefully updated to reflect significant developments, including a new chapter covering important recent work in the foundations of physics.- A new edition of the premier philosophical study of Bell’s Theorem and its implication for the relativistic account of space and time
- Discusses Roderich Tumiulka’s explicit, relativistic theory that can reproduce the quantum mechanical violation of Bell’s inequality.
- Discusses the "Free Will Theorem" of John Conway and Simon Kochen
- Introduces philosophers to the relevant physics and demonstrates how philosophical analysis can help inform physics

From the Publisher
"Maudlin's book is outstanding, and is particularly remarkable for three central achievements: the clearest exposition of Bell's theorem I know of; a careful discussion of the (in)compatibility between the implications of that theorem and relativity; and astute suggestions for how one could deal with this problem. Maudlin is a professional philosopher who writes on this most fundamental issue of physics in a way that is far clearer than the work of most physicists."—Jean Bricmont, University of Louvain
