SUMMARY

This volume provides a sample of the present research on the foundations of quantum mechanics and related topics by collecting the papers of the Italian scholars who attended the conference entitled "The Foundations of Quantum Mechanics -- Historical Analysis and Open Questions" (Lecce, 1998). The perspective of the book is interdisciplinary, and hence philosophical, historical and technical papers are gathered together so as to allow the reader to compare different viewpoints and cultural approaches. Most of the papers confront, directly or indirectly, the objectivity problem, taking into account the positions of the founders of QM or more recent developments. More specifically, the technical papers in the book pay special attention to the interpretation of the experiments on Bell's inequalities and to decoherence theory, but topics on unsharp QM, the consistent-history approach, quantum probability and alternative theories are also discussed. Furthermore, a number of historical and philosophical papers are devoted to Planck's Weyl's and Pauli's thought, but topics such as quantum ontology, predictivity of quantum laws, etc., are also treated.Garola, Claudio is the author of 'Foundations of Quantum Mechanics Historical Analysis and Open Questions Lecce, Italy 13-16 October 1998' with ISBN 9789810242626 and ISBN 981024262X.
