The Nature of Contingency: Quantum Physics as Modal Realism
Wilson, Alastair (Professor of Philosophy, University of Birmingham)
This book defends a radical new theory of contingency as a physical phenomenon. Drawing on the many-worlds approach, it argues that quantum theories are best understood as telling us about the space of genuine possibilities, rather than as telling us solely about actuality.
