%0 Journal Article %T Relational quantum mechanics: Rovelli's world %A van Fraassen %A Bas C %J Discusiones Filos¨®ficas %D 2010 %I Scientific Electronic Library Online %X carlo rovelli's inspiring relational quantum mechanics serves several aims at once: it provides a new vision of what the world of quantum mechanics is like, and it offers a program to derive the theory's formalism from a set of simple postulates pertaining to information processing. i propose here to concentrate entirely on the former, to explore the world of quantum mechanics as rovelli depicts it. it is a fascinating world in part because of rovelli's reliance on the information theory approach to the foundations of quantum mechanics, and in part because its presentation involves taking sides on a fundamental divides within philosophy itself. %K carlo rovelli %K einstein-podolski-rosen %K quantum information %K relational quantum mechanics. %U http://www.scielo.org.co/scielo.php?script=sci_abstract&pid=S0124-61272010000200002&lng=en&nrm=iso&tlng=en
