The convergence of transcendental philosophy and quantum physics
Grete Henry-Hermann's 1935 pioneering proposal
pp. 55-69
This paper presents, and sketches the significance, of Grete Henry-Hermann's interpretation of the relationships between transcendental philosophy and quantum physics. Grete Henry-Hermann's contributions to the philosophy of physics, although poorly known especially outside Germany, appear very important in an historical perspective, as well as of great philosophical interest from a contemporary point of view, especially for a transcendentally-oriented philosopher. The paper insists on some noteworthy points which give Grete Henry-Hermann's main essay of 1935 its major interest; offers indications of what makes up the central originality of Hermann's thesis concerning quantum physics; provides some remarks concerning the strengths and weaknesses of Hermann's interpretation; and presents some of Hermann's general conclusions concerning the relationship between critical philosophy and quantum physics.
