Since the Niels Bohr centenary of 1985 there has been an international surge of scholarly analyses of Bohr's philosophy. In Niels Bohr and Contemporary Philosophy , Jan Faye and Henry Folse have brought together 16 authors who have helped mould this new round of discussions on Bohr's philosophy. These 15 essays present a variety of the different facets of Niels 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 should interest all serious students of history and philosophy of science and foundations of physics.
