From the Preface: “The name of Hermann Weyl is enshrined in the history of mathematics. A thinker of exceptional depth, and a creator of ideas, Weyl possessed an intellect which ranged far and wide over the realm of mathematics, and beyond. His mind was sharp and quick, his vision clear and penetrating. Whatever he touched he adorned. His personality was suffused with humanity and compassion, and a keen aesthetic sensibility. Its fullness radiated charm. He was young at heart to the end. By precept and example, he inspired many mathematicians, and influenced their lives. The force of his ideas has affected the course of science. He ranks among the few universalists of our time. This collection of papers is a tribute to his genius. It is intended as a service to the mathematical community…. These papers will no doubt be a source of inspirations to scholars through the ages.” Volume II comprises 38 articles written between 1918 and 1926.

Hermann Weyl fue un matemático, físico teórico y filósofo alemán cuyo trabajo influyó significativamente en la física teórica y las disciplinas puramente matemáticas. Se erigió como uno de los matemáticos más influyentes del siglo XX, buscando una forma de universalismo. Sus investigaciones abarcaron el espacio, el tiempo, la materia, la filosofía, la lógica, la simetría y la historia de las matemáticas. Notablemente, buscó unificar la relatividad general con los principios del electromagnetismo.
