  • "The work is divided into three main sections. The first presents the general historical, intellectual and philosophical background of the dialogue between Pauli and Jung. This first section sets the stage, reviewing the general cultural and intellectual climate of Europe between the turn of the century and the period between the world wars. The intent of this section is to place the epistemological crisis, which inundated physics during the emergence of quantum mechanics, as well as the dramatis personae of this process, into the context of the history of ideas. The second section takes a closer look at the connection between physics and depth psychology, by focusing on two representatives of the Copenhagen school and presenting their views on this matter: Pascual Jordan and Niels Bohr. A comparison of Bohr's and Jung's epistemological standpoints is also undertaken. The thrid section discusses the specific philosophical bases of Pauli's interest in the psychology of C.G. Jung and explores some of the main issues discussed in their correspondence as for instance the relation of conscious and unconscious, the theory of archetypes, the process underlying concept-formation, the psychology of scientific discovery and the theory of synchronicity."

  • "Offers an insightful examination of the research and history of the physicist and Nobel Laureate Wolfgang Pauli and his interest in Jungian psychology, philosophy and western world-view. It is also a study of the intellectual setting and context of Pauli's thinking, i.e. a contribution to the general history of quantum physics, especially concerning the relation of the new physics to psychology. The focus highlights psychological, philosophical and ontological issues and ultimately the possibility of a new understanding of the interrelatedness of man and world. The work is primarily based on the correspondence of the principle characters, and the terminology is mostly from philosophy, Jungian psychology and, a minor part, from physics/mathematics. The author seeks to enhance our understanding of the history of quantum physics and to offer original insight into the fascinating thoughts of Wolfgang Pauli."
