In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the human and social sciences towards

contemporary natural science. In this regard, we can talk about a kind of “natural

sciences turn” in these fields of knowledge. It is not just a matter of an active use of ter -

minological and ideological baggage from the arsenal of natural sciences, but we can

even talk about direct borrowing of argumentation. American researcher Karen Barad 

is one of the leading figures of this movement. Barad connects her theoretical conception

of agential realism directly with quantum mechanics in its interpretation proposed by

Niels Bohr. The article compares some of the key concepts of the Bohr vision of quantum

mechanics, such as phenomenon, agency of observation with the reading acquired by

these concepts in Barad’s agential realism. On a comparative analysis of the interpretation

of these concepts by Bohr and Barad a number of problematic points of the concept

of agential realism are revealed.
