Abstract
It is well known that the fathers of Quantum Physics (QP) maintained that a new epistemological attitude, not only a new physical theory, was needed in order to get over the crisis of Classical Physics (CP). But it is also well known that a universal agreement on the epistemological conception that must support QP has not yet been attained: this has deep consequences on the proposed interpretations of the theory, which have multiplied beyond any reasonable limit.
