A previously unpublished manuscript by the physicist Max Born, one of the creators of quantum mechanics, is presented. The manuscript was addressed to Born's colleague Léon Rosenfeld and criticized his attempt to show that Niels Bohr's doctrine of complementarity was an example of dialectical materialism and as such in perfect agreement with Marxist philosophy. Besides illustrating the deep political divisions among defenders of the `Copenhagen spirit' in quantum physics, the manuscript is also a valuable source illuminating Max Born's philosophical position about scientific methodology and epistemology.
