  In this chapter we discuss the Einstein Podolsky Rosen theorem and its strong
relation with Bell's theorem. The central role played by the concept of beable
introduced by Bell is emphasized. In particular we stress that beables involved
in EPR and Bell theorems are not limited to hidden supplementary variables
(e.g., like in the de Broglie-Bohm (dBB) pilot-wave theory) but also include
the wave function. In full agreement with Bell this allows us the reformulate
the EPR and Bell results as strong theorems concerning nonlocality for quantum
mechanics itself and not only for hidden-variables approaches as it is often
mistakenly assumed. Furthermore, we clarify some repeated ambiguities
concerning `local-realism' and emphasize that neither realism nor determinism
nor counterfactual definiteness are prerequisites of EPR and Bell theorems.
