He's got more recent works that are in my queue to read, but "Reality is Not What It Seems" is not a bad choice. Mileage may vary, depending on one's background.

For much more detailed explorations of the weirdness of quantum theory, I recommend Carlos Rovelli's work. He's very capable of rendering complex concepts for non-physicists, while still recognizing how strange and poetic the implications are from philosophical perspectives.

Love that book. Mandelbrot gave a speech at my college & this was the only book I had on hand, but he graciously autographed it for me anyway.

Thank you for posting this article. I enjoyed Dresser's essay, especially since he did a good job of recognizing the virtues of both Heidegger's & Carnap's thinking. I've always leaned more toward the Continental philosophers but have studied and appreciated the Analytic approaches (esp. Wittgenstein). This article rekindled my interest in both for the first time in years. Cheers.

Glad you liked it -- it's sitting by my bed for the near future.
