Abstract

Professor Shimony's fair comment on my paper provides me with an opportunity to clarify some points which because of their concise presentation may not appear entirely clear. I am glad to note that there are some large areas of agreement between us while the differences of view — some of them at least — are apparently due to misunderstanding rather than to the lack of agreement. I am going to comment on his comments in the same order in which he formulated them.
