Historical interest and studies of Weyl's role in the interplay
between 20th-century mathematics, physics and philosophy have been
increasing since the middle 1980s, triggered by different
activities at the occasion of the centenary of his birth in 1985,
and are far from being exhausted. The present book takes Weyl's
"Raum - Zeit - Materie" (Space - Time - Matter) as center of
concentration and starting field for a broader look at his work.
The contributions in the first part of this volume discuss Weyl's
deep involvement in relativity, cosmology and matter theories
between the classical unified field theories and quantum physics
from the perspective of a creative mind struggling against theories
of nature restricted by the view of classical determinism. In the
second part of this volume, a broad and detailed introduction is
given to Weyl's work in the mathematical sciences in general and in
philosophy. It covers the whole range of Weyl's mathematical and
physical interests: real analysis, complex function theory and
Riemann surfaces, elementary ergodic theory, foundations of
mathematics, differential geometry, general relativity, Lie groups,
quantum mechanics, and number theory.
