Abstract

This is a dialogue between Huw Price and Travis Norsen, loosely inspired by a letter that Price received from J. S. Bell in 1988. The main topic of discussion is Bell's views about retrocausal approaches to quantum theory and their relevance to contemporary issues.

Keywords: J S Bell; quantum theory; retrocausality; superdeterminism.
