On the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the birth of Hermann
Grassmann (1809-1877), an interdisciplinary conference was held in
Potsdam, Germany, and in Grassmann's hometown Szczecin, Poland. The
idea of the conference was to present a multi-faceted picture of
Grassmann, and to uncover the complexity of the factors that were
responsible for his creativity. The conference demonstrated not
only the very influential reception of his work at the turn of the
20th century, but also the unexpected modernity of his ideas, and
their continuing development in the 21st century. This book
contains 37 papers presented at the conference. They investigate
the significance of Grassmann's work for philosophical as well as
for scientific and methodological questions, for comparative
philology in general and for Indology in particular, for
psychology, physiology, religious studies, musicology, didactics,
and, last but not least, mathematics. In addition, the book
contains numerous illustrations and English translations of
original sources, which are published here for the first time.
These include life histories of Grassmann (written by his son
Justus) and of his brother Robert (written by Robert himself), as
well as the paper "On the concept and extent of pure theory of
number'' by Justus Grassmann (the father).
