Most accounts of Hermann Weyl's objections to the Dedekind continuum treat them as episodes in the foundations of mathematics. This essay takes a different route. Beginning with Weyl's dissatisfaction with impredicative definitions, it follows a path through intuitionism, Husserlian phenomenology, and Riemannian geometry to ask a broader question: what if continuity is not a completed object but an ongoing achievement?

[19:00] 12 april is voor de Joodse Eva Weyl belangrijker dan 5 mei: 'Er werd gekust bij het leven'

Ieder jaar denkt Weyl samen met vriendin Hans Dresden terug aan wat er allemaal is gebeurd.

#Erinnerung und #Begegnung: www.zweitzeugen.de: der Verein hat das Konzept Zweitzeugen hervorgebracht, maßgeblich vorangetrieben durch Eva Weyl, Der Vater von Eva Weyl ging in Kleve zur Schule. Der Großvater führte das Kaufhaus #Weyl in #Kleve. Eva Weyl hatte eine Videobotschaft zur Gedenkveranstaltung in der Realschule am 27. Januar 2025 geschickt.

Anyone out there read 'Radical Markets' by #posner and #weyl ? http://radicalmarkets.com/ can you recommend? I'm mostly interested as Weyl developed and in the book promotes #quadraticVoting
