NATURAL SCIENCE AND WORLD OUTLOOK

(SPEECH AT THE 78TH CONGRESS OF GERMAN NATURAL
SCIENTISTS IN STUTTGART), HEIDELBERG, 1906 (Bern Library. Nat. Varia. 160)

An idealist of the Kant-Fichte persuasion, who emphasises that both phenomenology
(modern—“only phenomena.” P. 40) and energetics and vitalism
(ibidem) work in the spirit of idealism.

Matter—x “Materiality”—“a conventional mode of expression”...
(p. 35 )

“Nature is a product of the mind” (37), etc.

“In short, materialism is primarily nothing but a new name for the task of natural science.” (32)
