Abstract

The article suggests that quantum mechanics is a science of a new type, which refutes the classical metaphysical concept of reality. The notion of a quantum concept is introduced. The possibility of a Wittgensteinian 'dissolution' of the measurement problem with the help of the notion of a language game and the possibility of a metaphysical solution of this problem with the help of the Heideggerian notion of Dasein are considered.
