Abstract
In the introduction to his book Quantum Theory and Reality the philosopher of science Mario Bunge (1967, p. 4) said:
The physicist of the latest generation is operationalist all right, but usually he does not know, and refuses to believe, that the original Copenhagen interpretation – which he thinks he supports – was squarely subjectivist, i.e., nonphysical.
