xReader reviews
(1) "Although the author here uses ethics in the title, this little gem is much wider, encompassing epistemology, ontology, metaphysics and of course mind vs. matter."
(2) "The math is fun and relatively easy if you've completed QD or QED (but not so if you're new to QFT), but the author clearly is up to speed on Hamiltonians, group theory, complex analysis, gauge, Minkowski, lattices, etc. so it is truly fun to watch his unique connections and insights." - Amazon.com Synopsis
This groundbreaking work is bringing together quantum physicists and philosophers in an unprecedented way... Making a tabula rasa from all its historical and heuristical developments, it presents Quantum Field Theory in its modern form in a exquisitely simple mathematical apparatus, nonetheless completely well-defined and fully functional... Focusing on the underlying ontology of Quantum Field Theory, which turns out to be very similar to the classical metaphysics of Spinoza's Ethics, it provides a solid fundament for any philosophical discussion of its interpretation. This book ought to become compulsory reading not only for all philosophers interested by the metaphysical and ethical implications of Quantum Physics, but also for all physicists working on the foundations of Physics, on Quantum Measurement and on Decoherence Theory.
