Philosophy and quantum mechanics

I think philosophy is not respected nearly as much as it should be in popular culture and in academia. One area of physics which is widely thought to have nothing to do with philosophy, quantum mechanics, is extremely involved in it. Philosophers are involved mostly in interpreting quantum mechanics, and thus they debate about the Copenhagen, the Bohmian, the Many World's among many other interpretations. This requires philosophers to have a great deal of understanding of physics.
