Abstract :
What belongs to quantum theory is no more than what is needed for its derivation.
Keeping to this maxim, we record a paradigmatic shift in the foundations of quantum
mechanics, where the focus has recently moved from interpreting to reconstructing
quantum theory. Several historic and contemporary reconstructions are analyzed,
including the work of Hardy, Rovelli, and Clifton, Bub and Halvorson. We conclude by
discussing the importance of a novel concept of intentionally incomplete reconstruction.
