Includes bibliographical references and index.
pt. 1. Entangled beginnings. Introduction: the science and ethics of mattering -- Meeting the universe halfway -- Diffractions: differences, contingencies, and entanglements that matter -- pt. 2. Intra-actions matter. Niels Bohr's philosophy-physics: quantum physics and the nature of knowledge and reality -- Agential realism: how material-discursive practices matter -- pt. 3. Entanglements and re(con)figurations. Getting real: technoscientific practices and the materialization of reality -- Spacetime re(con)figurings: naturalcultural forces and changing topologies of power -- Quantum entanglements: experimental metaphysics and the nature of nature -- The ontology of knowing, the intra-activity of becoming, and the ethics of mattering -- Appendix A. Cascade experiment, by Alice Fulton -- Appendix B. The uncertainty principle is not the basis of Bohr's complementarity -- Appendix C. Controversy concerning the relationship between Bohr's Principle of Complementarity and Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle.
