In this article I intend to draw the reader's attention to a particular feature of Niels Bohr's philosophy which has been overlooked in the discussion of his views concerning the reality of "the quantum world". I am thinking of Bohr's rejection of a "God's-Eye View" and of transcendental views in general. I shall not comment upon problems concerning locality, separability or other current issues. Yet, I do hope that the following may help some to a more clear understanding of Bohr's views concerning reality and description.
