Good and Real

Demystifying Paradoxes from Physics to Ethics
Book • 2006
In 'Good and Real', Gary Drescher explores provocative paradoxes related to consciousness, choice, ethics, and quantum mechanics.

He argues that these phenomena can be compatible with a deterministic universe, using computational models and analyses of Newcomb's Problem and the Prisoner's Dilemma.

Drescher also discusses quantum mechanics, building on Everett's relative-state formulation to argue for an objective, deterministic physical reality.
