Since the Niels Bohr centenary of 1985 there has been an
astonishing international surge of scholarly analyses of Bohr's
philosophy. Now for the first time in Niels Bohr and Contemporary
Philosophy Jan Faye and Henry Folse have brought together sixteen
of today's leading authors who have helped mould this new round of
discussions on Bohr's philosophy. In fifteen entirely new,
previously unpublished essays we discover a surprising variety of
the different facets of Bohr as the natural philosopher whose
framework of complementarity' shaped the final phase of the quantum
revolution and influenced two generations of the century's leading
physicists. There is much on which the authors included here agree;
but there are also polar disagreements, which assure us that the
philosophical questions revolving around Bohr's new viewpoint' will
continue to be a subject of scholarly interest and discussion for
years to come. This collection will interest all serious students
of history and philosophy of science, and foundations of physics.
