Quantum mechanics as a principle theory
Studies in History and Philosophy of Science Part B 31 (1):75-94 (2000)
| Abstract | I show how quantum mechanics, like the theory of relativity, can be understood as a 'principle theory' in Einstein's sense, and I use this notion to explore the approach to the problem of interpretation developed in my book Interpreting the Quantum World. | |||||||||
