there are postulates for qm, but of course you are an undergrad and cannot access those books. the clear books are about AQFT

abandoning realism would for the physicist to acknowledge that he has no answer to the question ''why physics matter?''.
realism means the realism of classical mechanics: that observables exist without humans, that functionality of observables holds also, that results are independent of humans and other parties far away from the system [locality , non-globality].


any rationalist doctrine is based on the faith in the imagination [meaning induction] which would produce concepts, abstractions, fantasies and some of them connect back to the empirical world.
the question is then what deliriums connect back to the empirical world.

any rationalist doctrine which is not solipsism also refute solipsism [which is a rationalist doctrine, since it stems from the imagination, after taking the imagination seriously] which also brings problems since there is the question of faith in speeches by ''other humans''.
solipsism is not destroyed by solipsism nor any other rationalist doctrines since the refutation of a doctrine is purely a concept. Empiricism destroys any rationalism, solipsism included.

Now for Bell theorem, it is equally good to look at the Kochen-speker, which speaks more about realism than bell's.

>Cohen-Tannoudji's Quantum Mechanics Vol 1 & 2
the most ridiculous book on the market

Also, A book which does not mention the Koechen Specker theorem is a bad book.

>Another deterministic aproach to Quantum Mechanics would be the Many worlds theory, wouldn't it?
yes, because they refute the postulate about measurements which is the source of probabilities
