Abstract

The objective of the present work is to explore the kind of realism prevailing in the most usual interpretation adopted for Quantum Mechanics, that is, the Copenhagen Interpretation, opposing it to the realism of Everett’s Relative States Interpretation, based on a formalism of pure wave mechanics.

Keywords: Copenhagen Interpretation, Relative States Interpretation, Complementarity Principle, Scientific Realism, Hugh Everett III.
