The main theme of this book is the idea that quantum mechanics is
valid not only for microscopic objects but also for the macroscopic
apparatus used for quantum mechanical measurements. The author
demonstrates the intimate relations that exist between quantum
mechanics and its interpretation which are induced by the quantum
mechanical measurement process. Consequently, the book is concerned
both with the philosophical, metatheoretical problems of
interpretations and with the more formal problems of quantum object
theory. The consequences of this approach turn out to be partly
very promising and partly rather disappointing. On the one hand, it
is possible to give a rigorous justification of some important
parts of interpretation, such as probability, by means of object
theory. On the other hand, the problem of the objectification of
measurement results leads to inconsistencies which cannot be
resolved in an obvious way. This open problem has far-reaching
consequences for the possibility of recognising an objective
reality in physics.
