Like Bohr, Einstein and Heisenberg, Wolfgang Pauli was not only a
Nobel laureate and one of the creators of modern physics, but also
an eminent philosopher of modern science. This is the first book in
English to include all his famous articles on physics and
epistemology. They were actually translated during Pauli's lifetime
by R. Schlapp and are now edited and annotated by Pauli's former
assistant Ch. Enz. Pauli writes about the philosophical
significance of complementarity, about space, time and causality,
symmetry and the exclusion principle, but also about therole of the
unconscious in modern science. His famous article on Kepler is
included as well as many historical essays on Bohr, Ehrenfest, and
Einstein as well as on the influence of the unconscious on
scientific theories. The book addresses not only physicists,
philosophers and historians of science, but also the general
public.
