This book is about how to understand quantum mechanics by means of
a modal interpretation. Modal interpretations provide a general
framework within which quantum mechanics can be considered as a
theory that describes reality in terms of physical systems
possessing definite properties. Quantum mechanics is standardly
understood to be a theory about probabilities with which
measurements have outcomes. Modal interpretations are relatively
new attempts to present quantum mechanics as a theory which, like
other physical theories, describes an observer-independent reality.
In this book, Pieter Vermaas summarises the results of this work.
The book will be of great value to undergraduates, graduate
students and researchers in philosophy of science, and physics
departments with an interest in learning about modal
interpretations of quantum mechanics.
