Abstract

In this paper the “measurement problem” posed by quantum mechanics is examined. The discussion of the problem is based on the analysis of the concepts of an “isolated physical system”, a “possible state of a physical system” and “interaction between physical systems”. The solution proposed is suggested by W. Heisenberg's philosophical position on the theory, which he expressed in terms of the metaphysical binomial power-act. Many of the abstractions characterizing modern theoretical physics have been discussed in the philosophy of past centuries. In those times these abstractions could be ignored as mere mental exercises by scientists whose only concern was reality, but today we are compelled by the progress of experimental results to take them into serious consideration.
