is not meant to suggest that the Rule Perspective is superior to all other rival interpretive takes on quantum theory or that it even constitutes the uniquely correct account of quantum foundations. The more modest aim of this paper is to argue that the idea of dissolving the paradoxes without introducing any hidden variables, additional dynamics and without accepting Everettian branching can be spelled out and defended in a coherent way. Arguably, this suffices to make accounts that are based on it into serious contenders among interpretations of quantum theory.

The structure of the remaining sections of this paper is as follows: Section 2 sketches in which way the epistemic conception of quantum states dissolves the notorious paradoxes of measurement and non-locality by undermining their conceptual presuppositions. Section 3 reviews quantum Bayesianism and introduces the Rule Perspective. Sections 4, 5, and 6 are the core sections of the paper. They consider objections against the epistemic conception of quantum states (found in the literature or inspired by it) and develop and discuss possible answers from the points of view of quantum Bayesianism and the Rule Perspective. The paper closes in Section 7 with some remarks on the shared ambition of the
