It is a common view that, most of the elements of Copenhagen
interpretation, as the first and the most famous interpretation of
quantum mechanics, is rooted historically and philosophically, logical
positivism. The aim of this paper is to show that, philosophically,
pragmatism supports Copenhagen interpretation more intensively,
whether or not the initiators of the interpretation, such as Niels Bohr as
the most important figure of the interpretation, were aware of that. We
proclaim that some elements of the interpretation, which are consistent
with logical positivism, are perfectly supported by pragmatism. Some
of these elements are: weak objectivism, senselessness of the concept
of “thing in itself”, instrumentalist approaches to theories, and the
avoidance to deal with ontological issues irrespective of experiment.
Furthermore, and more particularly, it is argued that pragmatism
espouses some of other fundamental and important elements of
Copenhagen interpretation such as holism, uncertainty principle, and
complementarity.
