My excuse for not modding much recently

True. It's not my field of study, i only read a few books ages ago.

Fair enough! Actually, you're pretty well informed; I don't usually come across people outside the field who've come across decoherence.

[Mike1072]

This whole subject is decoherent.

Quantum philosophy is always an interesting subject.

[Dakk]

I find that just using the word "quantum" usually gets the job done - whatever the job.

 

And my warmest congratulations Mr. W, well done. As excuses go, it's better than "I got my hand stuck in the toaster".

[Miloch]

Is this worth reading?

 

Obviously, the author will be biased on this account, but could a philosopher and metaphysicist who doesn't specialise in quantum whatnot be enthralled by it?

[DavidW]

Like you say, I'm hardly going to be unbiased. It's technical; you can probably get something out of it without formal physics training but you'll have to skip a lot of equations and take a fair amount on trust. If you're interested in philosophy of quantum theory but haven't studied it before, David Albert's Quantum Mechanics and Experience is a better place to start.
