(2023): "Consistent histories through pragmatist lenses", Studies in History and Philosophy of Science, 98, pp. 40-48.0039-368110.1016/j.shpsa.2023.01.001https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/103144This article adopts a bottom-up approach to theory interpretation, following the slogan “meaning is use”, and applies it to quantum mechanics. I argue that it fits very well with the Consistent Histories formulation of quantum mechanics, interpreted in a particular way that is not the interpretation favoured by original proponents of the formulation. I examine the difficulties and advantages of this interpretation.engAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/journal article1879-2510https://doi.org/10.1016/j.shpsa.2023.01.001open access001.1530.145Quantum mechanicsConsistent historiesPragmatism causationModalities situationsFilosofía de la Ciencia7205 Filosofía de la Ciencia
