The preconditions of experience and the unity of physics

Carl Friedrich Von Weizsäcker

pp. 123-158

The table of contents shows that this is a complex paper. It is something like an abridged version of a book still to be written.1 Perhaps the reader may find it more easily accessible if the author briefly introduces him into the personal, autobiographical preconditions of the views he is going to present. This is the paper of a physicist who studied and practised theoretical physics because of its relevance for philosophy, and who found himself disappointed by all philosophies which pretended to interpret physics.
