The Shaky Game, Einstein, Realism And The Quantum Theory by Arthur Fine
Einstein, Realism And The Quantum Theory
A probing critique of Einstein’s realist program and later attempts to restore a classical, deterministic picture of quantum phenomena, tracing the historical arguments (EPR, von Neumann, Bohm, Bell) and showing how formal results and empirical practice undermine straightforward hidden‑variable reconstructions; the book urges a restrained, epistemically modest reading of quantum theory that accepts its empirical success without forcing it back into pre‑quantum metaphysical categories and highlights the need to rethink the conceptual assumptions driving the search for a classical restoration.
