Popis: Finding an interpretation of quantum mechanics without paradoxes is here shown to be a soluble problem of concepts, language, and logic. The ill-defined Copenhagen concepts ofobservation andmeasurement are transformed by a conceptual analysis into a number of well-defined subconcepts that take explicit account of the part played by theories in observation and measurement. Occurrence axioms for multiple events are formulated that can replace the usual measurement axioms and make «collapse of the wave function» dispensable. The usual fatal mixing of classical and quantum concepts is avoided by employing a two-model representation. Satisfactory answer to important questions of understanding are presented and the paradoxical aspects of known quantum thought experiments are shown to be spurious. The shortcomings and perplexities of the Copenhagen interpretation are avoided.
