Abstract
Decompositional Dual-Aspect Neutral Monism (DAM) aims to overcome the opposition between realism and idealism, eliminate the subject-object dualism, solve the quantum measurement problem and the hard problem of consciousness. We argue that DAM represents a form of idealism/antirealism and cannot serve as a philosophical foundation for quantum mechanics. At the same time, we believe DAM possesses heuristic value. The position can be reinterpreted from the perspective of Contextual Realism (CR), which rejects the premises of (post)modern philosophy and affirms that contextuality is both an epistemological and ontological feature of reality.
