Abstract
An attempt is made to give a coherent account of the logical essence o f the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum theory. The central point i s that quantum theory is fundamentally pragmatic, but nonetheless comp lete. The principal difficulty in understanding quantum theory lies in the fact that its completeness is incompatible with external existenc e of the space-time continuum of classical physics.
