mechanistic worldview:
There is a single objective and absolute reality. We need to understand it and to act by its laws.
quantum mechanics:
Perceived reality is conditioned by the context of human perception. In different contexts, we may need different (and sometimes contradictory) descriptions.
implications:
It is useless to look for "the only true image" of reality. Instead, one should try to find which description and which language are applicable at any given moment, according to the situation and the needs/preferences of the observer/user.
