This volume is divided into five parts. The title of the volume
refers primarily to part I, which is by far the largest and
comprises papers discussing the fundamental questions of biology
and related psychological and philosophical problems. Following the
reproduction of papers brought to publication by Bohr, there is a
separate Appendix to Part I including some of Bohr's most
interesting and substantive unpublished contributions in this area.
The papers in Part I span the last thirty years of Bohr's life and
display his great interest in biological problems and his
unremitting efforts to show that biology cannot be reduced to
physics and chemistry.
Part II contains articles of a more general cultural interest. Some
of these show that Bohr regarded the complementary perspective to
be of value also outside the scientific sphere.
Part III contains the articles Bohr wrote about the great Danish
philosopher Harald Hoffding. These short papers are presented in a
section on their own because of the continuing discussion in the
history of science about Hoffding's possible influence on Bohr's
work in physics and his whole scientific approach.
Part IV comprises articles illuminating the history of 20th century
physics. Bohr had great veneration for his predecessors and
teachers, and he prepared these articles with great care.
Part V contains correspondence relating to the material in Parts I
through IV. As in previous volumes an inventory of relevant
unpublished manuscripts held at the Niels Bohr Archive constitutes
an appendix to the whole volume.
