9. Niels Bohr, in his epistemological debate with Einstein (see P. A. Schlipp, ed., Albert Einstein: Philosopher-Scientist [Evanston, Ill.: Library of Living Philosophers, 1949]). Epistemological thinkers connected with quantum methodology have rightly warned against an ingenuous transposition of physical categories into the fields of ethics and psychology (for example, the identification of indeterminacy with moral freedom; see P. Frank, Present Role of Science, Opening Address to the Seventh International Congress of Philosophy, Venice, September 1958). Hence it would not be justified to understand my formulation as analogy between the structures of the work of art and the supposed structures of the world. Indeterminacy, complementarity, non-causality are not modes of being in the physical world, but systems for describing it in a convenient way. The relationship which concerns my exposition is not the supposed nexus between an 'ontological' situation and a morphological feature in the work of art, but the relation between an operative procedure for explaining physical processes and an operative procedure for explaining the processes of artistic production and reception. In other words, the relationship between a scientific methodology and a poetics.
