Quantum theory launched a revolution in physics. Richard Healey opens a path to such understanding. But we have yet to understand the revolution's significance for philosophy.
But, though fundamental, quantum theory is enormously successful without describing the world in its own terms. Most studies of the conceptual foundations of quantum theory first try to interpret the theory - to say how the world could possibly be the way the theory says it is. When properly applied, models of quantum theory offer good advice on the significance and credibility of claims about the world expressed in other terms.
This first philosophical lesson of the quantum revolution dissolves the quantum measurement problem. Pragmatist treatments of probability and causation show how quantum theory may be used to explain the non-localized correlations that have been thought to involve spooky instantaneous
