Resumen

Desde su aparición, la interpretación relacional de la mecánica cuántica (RQM) ha dado lugar a innumerables discusiones filosóficas, en particular en torno a la peculiar concepción del conocimiento que emerge de ella. En este trabajo me propongo analizar el modo en que RQM articula esta concepción a través de la noción de “información”. Primero, analizaré el modo en que su creador, Carlo Rovelli, comprende el conocimiento científico. Luego ofreceré una reconstrucción del argumento a favor de RQM y analizaré críticamente el modo en que la teoría articula ambos conceptos para brindar una imagen realista, naturalista y relacional del conocimiento científico. Dicho análisis revelará que, en su estado actual, RQM es incapaz de brindar una imagen coherente y el reciente intento por parte de sus defensores para subsanar este problema revela serias dificultades en el corazón de RQM, que demandan cambios profundos en la elaboración filosófica de la teoría.
