<p>Quantum mechanics is a physical theory for objects of the microcosm, e.g. for atoms or electrons.

These peculiarities are presented and their meaning for our cognitive faculty and for a world view is discussed.</p><p></p><p>This <i>Springer essential</i> is a translation of the original German 1<sup>st</sup> edition <i>essentials,</i> <i>Über die Merkwürdigkeiten der Quantenmechanik </i>by Josef Honerkamp, published by Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden GmbH, part of Springer Nature in 2020.

Introduction.- Emergence or supervenience.- Objects, features, relations.- Concepts in classical physics.- The oddities in quantum mechanics.- Resumé.
Josef Honerkamp taught as a professor of theoretical physics for more than 30 years and conducted research in the fields of quantum field theories, statistical mechanics, nonlinear systems, and stochastic dynamical systems in Hamburg, Bonn, and Freiburg. Since his retirement, he has tried to make the beauty and consistency of physical theories understandable to non-physicists.
