(hetfo) 16:00 6. em. 6.54 F e d e r i c o L a u d i s a History and Philosophy of Science, Eotvos University, Budapest (On leave from Dipartimento di Filosofia, Universita' di Firenze) The EPR argument in a relational interpretation of quantum mechanics The EPR incompleteness argument is analyzed in the framework of a relational interpretation of quantum mechanics, in which the notion of absolute or observer independent state is rejected. It is argued that the conclusion of the ordinary EPR argument does not follow, provided the conditions of the original argument are suitably adapted to the new interpretation. The consequences of this result for the `peaceful coexistence' of quantum mechanics and special relativity are briefly discussed. A szeminarium szervezoje: E. Szabo Laszlo -- Laszlo E.
