Notes

  1. I thank an anonymous reviewer for this reference.

  2. The exchange between phenomenological philosophers of science and physicists working on the QBist interpretation of quantum mechanics is ongoing. The editors of the reviewed volume have organized a conference “QBism and Phenomenology” at Linköping University in Sweden; due to the pandemic, this meeting has been postponed to June 2022.
