Abstract
Essential elements of quantum theory are derived from an epistemic point of view, i.e., the viewpoint that thetheory has to do with what can be said about nature. This gives a relationship to statistical reasoning and to other areas of modelling and decision making. In particular, a quantum state can be defined from an epistemic point of view to consist of two elements: A (maximal) question about the value of some parameter together with the answer to that question. Quantization itself can be approached from the point of view of model reduction under symmetry.
