Notes

This text is based on a lecture at the “Salzburger Hochschulwochen”, August 1975. It was first published in English in: C.F. von Weizsäcker: The Ambivalence of Progress (New York Paragon House, 1988), part I, section 8; the German original is part of C.F. von Weizsäcker, Der Garten des Menschlichen (München: Hanser Verlag, 1977): 145–166. All rights of the Weizsäcker Bequest were transferred to the Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker Society, a nonprofit society whose executive chairman, Dr. Bruno Redeker, granted permission in March 2014 to use selected texts of Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker.

The German original here exemplifies the mature artistic style further by quoting and interpreting two poems by Goethe and Eichendorff; these passages have been left out in the English translation. (K.R.).
