To help us understand the results of researches in quantum physics, Bernard Kastrup introduces the Relational Quantum Mechanics (RQM), which states that there are no observer-independent physical realities. Kastrup discusses the assertions of RQM and the issues they raise for materialist science. In order to address these issues, he points to the importance of understanding the real nature of mind.
