Scientific paper

In 1961, Eugene Wigner argued that "the being with a consciousness must have a different role in quantum mechanics than the inanimate measuring device." By 1981, he had changed to a totally different position, one compatible with the position of Niels Bohr, that all it requires for the elementary quantum phenomenon is an elementary process brought to a close by an irreversible act of amplification (i.e. the click of a counter or the blackening of a grain of photographic emulsion.) It is instructive to review the reasons Wigner gives for this important change in his views.
