Abstract

In the recent literature the use of the term "Philosophy of Quantum Mechanics' is very similar to that of the corresponding term "Philosophy of Mathematics". Its denotation includes a vast class of research: from very technical investigations about the logical foundations of the theory up to general discussions of some traditional gnoseological and metaphysical questions (such as "idealismus' versus "realismus", etc.).
