E. Schroedinger - a bibliographical sketch. Part 1 Physics in the philosophical system of Erwin Schroedinger: Erwin Schroedinger and the philosophy of the physicists holistic aspects of the Schrodinger equation Schroedinger's cat and the interpretation of quantum mechanics the Schroedinger function of macroscopic systems. Part 2 Life sciences and the theories of self in Erwin Schroedinger's philosophical system: Schroedinger's negentropy concept and biology determination and self-organization - Erwin Schroedinger's views on chance Schroedinger, the self and the genes Erwin Schroedinger and his contribution to a new understanding of living systems. Part 3 Erwin Schroedinger's world view and his philosophical system: on the scientific and humanistic thinking of Erwin Schroedinger during his last years Erwin Schroedinger as historian - notes towards an interpretation Erwin Schroedinger's position in the Einstein-Bohr debate the notion of consciousness in Schroedinger's philosophy of nature remembering Schroedinger the study of nature and the emergence of world view - philosophical reflections on E. Schreodinger's approach.
Parts of Erwin Schrödinger’s career and views of science can be illuminated through his interaction with another pioneer of quantum theory, Niels Bohr. Both physicists endeavoured to understand nature on a basic level, where physics cannot be easily separated from natural philosophy in a broad sense of the term. In spite of having much in common, they fundamentally disagreed about the meaning and aim of quantum mechanics. The essay describes the Schrödinger–Bohr dialogue as it unfolded from their first contact in 1921 to their last exchange of letters in 1952.
