This chapter serves as an introduction to the philosophical issues raised by quantum theory. It begins with a brief overview of the formalism of quantum theory. The so-called “measurement problem” is introduced, and the main approaches to it surveyed. We then discuss the implications of quantum theory for metaphysics. One question concerns the implications of quantum nonlocality for our understand-ing of spacetime and of causality. Another has to do with the ontology of quantum states. Should these be regarded as physically real, and, if so, what sort of reality should be ascribed to them?
