  This doctoral dissertation presents an in-depth analysis of the first six
chapters of Eddington's Fundamental Theory, sometimes referred to as his
'statistical' theory, in the context of discoveries and advancements made since
its original publication in 1946. In particular, the analysis is focused on
being in the context of the foundations of quantum mechanics and quantum field
theory. The results of the analysis illuminate a number of novel methods and
techniques that, though not always correct, may prove to be enlightening and
even useful for future research in quantum foundations.
