ABSTRACT
Realism can mean different things, but the common core is the belief that the physical world (or better, that which our beliefs are about) exists independently of the states of our minds. Many philosophers and physicists believe that it is impossible to give an interpretation of quantum mechanics that accords with this realistic attitude. By contrast, I believe them to be wrong in thinking that; quantum mechanics is a theory about the fundamental features of the physical world and the states of our minds can be set aside in the interpretation of this theory.
