Carl Friedrich von Weizsacker s "Aufbau der Physik," first
published in 1985, was intended as an overview of his lifelong
concern: an understanding of the unity of physics. That is, the
idea of a quantum theory of binary alternatives (the so-called
ur-theory), a unified quantum theoretical framework in which
spinorial symmetry groups are considered to give rise to the
structure of space and time.
The book saw numerous reprints, but it was published in German
only.
The present edition, in English, provides a newly arranged and
revised version, in which some original chapters and sections have
been deleted, and a new chapter about further insights and results
of ur-theoretic research of the late 1980 s and 1990 s, mainly by
the work of Thomas Gornitz, has been included, as well as a general
introduction to Weizsacker s Philosophy of Physics.
Carl Friedrich von Weizsacker also enjoys high esteem by a much
broader audience for his socio-cultural, political and religious
thoughts and writings. In him the intercultural and
interdisciplinary dialogue has found one of its most important
proponents: a great thinker who combines the perspectives of
science, philosophy, religion and politics with a view towards the
challenges as well as the responsibilities of our time."
