QBism is an agent-centered interpretation of quantum theory. It rejects the notion that quantum theory provides a God’s eye description of reality and claims instead that it imposes constraints on agents’ subjective degrees of belief. QBism’s emphasis on subjective belief has led critics to dismiss it as antirealism or instrumentalism, or even, idealism or solipsism. The aim of this paper is to consider the relation of QBism to scientific realism. I argue that while QBism is an unhappy fit with a standard way of thinking about scientific realism, an alternative conception I call “perspectival normative realism” may allow for a reconciliation.

QBism和科学现实主义的局限性

QBism是量子理论的以代理为中心的解释。它拒绝了量子理论提供了上帝对现实的描述,并声称它对代理人的主观信念施加了约束。QBism对主观信念​​的强调导致批评家们将其视为反现实主义或工具主义,甚至是唯心主义或唯心主义。本文的目的是考虑QBism与科学现实主义的关系。我认为,尽管QBism不适合采用科学现实主义的标准思维方式,但我称之为“透视规范性现实主义”的替代概念可能允许和解。
