Review: Great read! - This is not a typical philosophy written by a scientist paper. Extremly well written, Rational, cogent, faire, articulate, I would highly recommend it. He basically is saying in the process of doing science he implies the process of doing philosophy is about defining concepts and words and finding boundaries and then by defining those boundaries all way you've reached those boundaries defining new concepts and so forth. I think he does a good job of explaining some of the complex physics, there are times where it becomes very technical and it's quite difficult for a layperson to understand but for the most part I think he does a pretty good job of explaining a difficult subject. Towards the end he talks about biology, psychology and he compares art and architecture to mathematical systems which was quite interesting. Enjoyed it very much.
Review: Enjoyable read - The description of early 20th century physics and also of Heisenberg's character made the book a very enjoyable read .

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well written book
*by M***H on 18 March 2014*

I am half way through this book and it is very interesting. I now have a much better understanding of quantum physics. It is also interesting to see scientific developments related to various traditions in western philosophy. However, I have never read a book with so many typos and grammatical errors, this doesn't really seem acceptable considering most of these would be spotted using a computer spell check program. Therefore, minus one star. The writing style of Heisenberg is very clear to understand. I have very little experience of physics but still found it easy enough to read. Good book, bad quality publishing.
