Erwin Schrödinger (1887-1961) is considered one of the fathers of quantum physics. In 1933, he was awarded the Nobel Prize alongside Paul Dirac. Schrödinger's writings continue to inspire a new perspective on the world today and have had far-reaching effects not only in physics. Many experts view Schrödinger as a pioneer in bioengineering, the development of techniques for efficiently manipulating cells, tissues, and living organisms. Philosophers attribute to him an orienting and provocative influence on a new ecologically motivated philosophy of nature. In this volume, leading American natural scientists and humanists explore the controversial potential of Schrödinger's thinking and demonstrate the enduring philosophical and practical significance of the insights of this epoch-making scientist.
