Abstract

Despite the impression that can be gained from most of the standard textbooks, Dirac, Klein–Gordon and other wave equations do not constitute the basis of relativistic quantum field theory. In this article I attempt to show how it should be formulated properly and discuss some of its aspects which usually are presented unsatisfactorily. My aim is to cause the change in the way quantum field theory is taught.The text is split into three parts. In the second part I discuss the formulation of quantum field theory as a theory of interacting fields as well as the physical sense of the renormalization procedure.
