metadata.value: Niels Bohr, considered one of the fathers of quantum mechanics, formulated a complex interpretation
  of quantum mechanics that guided his understanding of quantum experiments. The contemporary dispute
  between realism and anti-realism, the two main approaches to the interpretation of quantum mechanics,
  is often based on different attitudes towards or even readings of Bohr. We propose that a better
  understanding of Bohr’s philosophical thought can contribute to the contemporary reconciliation of
  these opposing philosophical views and thus to a better understanding of the quantum world. Unfortunately,
  in many contemporary interpretations, Bohr’s philosophical approach to quantum mechanics
  has been misunderstood, re-interpreted or labelled as ambiguous. This is mostly due to the dispersion
  of Bohr’s complex and unique interpretation through different texts, never united in a single systematically
  conceptualized work. To comprehensively explain Bohr’s philosophical approach and his main
  philosophical concepts, we consider the many similarities between Bohr’s and Husserl’s philosophical
  approach to science. Husserl developed his philosophical standpoint in a cultural context similar to
  Bohr’s and shared Bohr’s objects of philosophical consideration as well as his approach to these objects.
  Parallel reading of Bohr’s and Husserl’s texts reveals the closeness between Bohr’s ontological realism—
  epistemological anti-realism standpoint and Husserl’s phenomenological standpoint. This explains
  their similar views on the relationship between mathematical language, scientific method and Nature.
  While Bohr’s use of the term phenomenon is not equal to Husserl’s, Husserl’s rigorous philosophical
  explanation of the term helps us to better understand Bohr’s use. Furthermore, the parallel reading
  facilitates better understanding of one of Bohr’s main philosophical theses, often labelled as ambiguous
  and interpreted in different ways, that it is necessary to use classical concepts to describe quantum phenomena.
  We claim that the thesis is connected with the advance of epistemological reconsideration of
  science at the time of Bohr’s writing. Thus, Bohr considers some parts of argumentation as self-evident,
  while they are not evident to the contemporary reader. Husserl’s analysis of the relationship between science and the life-world offers a much-needed background for a comprehensive understanding of
  Bohr’s thesis. The insight into the similarities between Bohr’s and Husserl’s philosophical approach
  to science and scientific phenomena enables a philosophically rigorous reading of Bohr’s texts; it can
  eliminate some of the disagreements between realists and anti-realists and provide a firmer philosophical
  ground for a dialog between them.
