In nine essays and lectures composed in the last years of his life, Werner Heisenberg offers a bold appraisal of the scientific method in the twentieth century--and relates its philosophical impact on contemporary society and science to the particulars of molecular biology, astrophysics, and related disciplines.

Heisenberg discusses these issues in the most far-ranging philosophical terms, while illustrating them with specific examples.
