Writings on Physics and Philosophy

Like Bohr, Einstein and Heisenberg, Wolfgang Pauli was not
only a Nobel laureate and one of the creators of modern
physics, but also an eminent philosopher of modern science.
This is the first book in English to include all his famous
articles on physics and epistemology. They were actually
translated during Pauli's lifetime by R. Schlapp and are now
edited and annotated by Pauli's former assistant Ch. Enz.
Pauli writes about the philosophical significance of
complementarity, about space,time and causality, symmetry
and the exclusion principle, but also about therole of the
unconscious in modern science. His famous article on Kepler
is included as well as many historical essays on Bohr,
Ehrenfest,and Einstein as well as on the influence of the
unconscious on scientific theories.
The book addresses not only physicists, philosophers and
historians of science, but also the general public.
