      abstract = {In this study Arun Bala examines the implications that  Niels Bohr's principle of complementarity holds for fields  beyond physics. Bohr, one of the founding figures of modern  quantum physics, argued that the principle of  complementarity he proposed for understanding atomic  processes has parallels in psychology, biology, and social  science, as well as in Buddhist and Taoist thought. But  Bohr failed to offer any explanation for why  complementarity might extend beyond physics, and his claims  have been widely rejected by scientists as empty  speculation. Scientific scepticism has only been reinforced  by the naïve enthusiasm of postmodern relativists and New  Age intuitionists, who seize upon Bohr's ideas to justify  anti-realist and mystical positions. Arun Bala offers a  detailed defence of Bohr's claim that complementarity has  far-reaching implications for the biological and social  sciences, as well as for comparative philosophies of  science, by explaining Bohr's parallels as responses to the  omnipresence of grown properties in nature. .},
