ABSTRACT
Von Neumann’s (1927, 1932) measurement theory is based on an uncritical acceptance of the historical disturbance doctrine of measurements. It is an ineffectual attempt to relate empirical data to the partial Boolean structure of quantum mechanics. In this paper, I will argue that the measurement problem of quantum mechanics is soluble if it is reasonably posed. All difficulties stem from an indiscriminate conceptual approach and inadequate mathematical formulations.
