   Did Weyl reprint Hilbert & Emmy Noether's obituaries?

   • But it is particularly valuable in this book to have reprinted Weyl’s obituaries of Hilbert and Emmy Noether, and one can see in what ways he lived his life in the context of theirs, and created his mathematics while they created theirs — algebraically and axiomatically in their cases.

   What is Weyl's philosophy?

   • As those familiar with Weyl’s career might guess, it is the most overtly philosophical. It compares action and reflection as modes of knowledge, and the potential (intellectually accessible) infinite with an actual (mentally inaccessible) infinite that we are driven to represent “as a closed Being by means of a symbolic construction”.
