..., particle motion, and the universal wave function] that is empirically inaccessible, even though Healey himself postulates fundamental normative facts to be the foundation of quantum theory when normative facts have controversial epistemological and metaphysical standing in metaethics.) Healey does...

.... The first is mental causation. Endorsing moderate emergentism, Jennings argues that slow brain waves are causally efficacious even though they are not reducible to lower-level processes. (The metaphysics and neuroscience are presented accessibly, aided by three appendixes.) Second, Jennings argues...

... the dancing qualia argument. A second worry is that we still must find a suitable basis for Hilbert space. But theories of consciousness may constrain both position and momentum: for example, both distances between neurons and how energy is transferred. We can talk about wave packets, but these will not get...

... perceive each other, but rather how distinctly they perceive the relevant change. That would also help explain the ways in which sense perception is passive. In order for my ears to receive the sound of ocean waves, the waves do not need to perceive my ears more distinctly than my ears perceive the waves...

... evolution of the wave function (the Schrödinger equation), and the other the stochastic jump of the wave function triggered by measurements of some system (collapse postulates). However, it is unclear what counts as a measurement, and hence it is unclear when the two dynamical laws apply. For any precise...

... apart from the others and I therefore treat it separately at the end of this review. Chapter 1 distinguishes sounds from secondary qualities and waves. Sounds survive changes in a way that properties do not. In this respect, sounds behave like property-bearers rather than properties. Waves...

... the inflated list of allegedly successful-but-false theories.31 Unfortunately, there are prominent examples from the history of sci- ence in which views we now take to be false were genuinely successful by anyone’s standards. Consider, for example, Fresnel’s version of the wave theory of light. From...

... be misleading to say that one’s effortless wave to a friend involves trying to wave, but insists this doesn’t mean that trying isn’t a necessary condition for the act. O’Shaughnessy’s positive case for the om- nipresence of trying in action is rich. It includes intriguing claims such as that regarding...

... + = 4 ’. This is all just noise. As the Zhuangzi puts it (chapter 2), it is all just the world piping, like the screech of an owl, or the sound of waves. Let us turn, finally, to 3. DR recognizes the situation he is in: “A view so radical as to deny, as Parmenides and I do, that there are any...

... in the universe must become entangled with every other “ (Penrose 2004, 591). Mathematically, one needs only to suppose that there is awave- function of the universe. Then it is virtually certain that it will be entan- gled since measure 1 of all wave-functions are entangled. So unless...

... mechanics grow out of his adherence to AOE:the much- discussed measurement problem is for him a superficial consequence of the deeper problem that the ontology of the theory is not unified, in that no one understands how one entity could be both a wave and a particle. In response to this problem...

... and in particular in the work of Neurath (who coined the term) and Schlick. The final section of the book concentrates on the relation between physical- ism and consciousness. The papers by Kim, McGinn, and Horgan and Tienson are generally critical of what Horgan and Tienson call “new wave materialism...

... to attend to the underlying causal processes. Wilson sees nothing but confusion in this charge. To be sure, there are types of causation (e.g., in the propagation of waves) where an appeal to causal processes is valuable (well studied in the tradition that runs from Hans Reichenbach to Wesley Salmon...
