Maudlin’s work is focused on fundamental questions of physical ontology and structure. Quantum Non-Locality and Relativity (3rd ed. 2011) investigates the tension between Relativity and violations of Bell’s Inequality. Truth and Paradox (2004) proposes a revision of logic to deal with the Liar paradox. The Metaphysics Within Physics (2007) argues for the fundamentality of laws of nature and the direction of time. Philosophy of Physics: Space and Time provides an accessible account of how various proposed space-time geometries have been used in physics. New Foundations for Physical Geometry: The Theory of Linear Structures (2014) develops an alternative to standard topology.
