Page from Across the Frontiers (1974) by Werner Heisenberg:
(See highlighted area below where Heisenberg compares Bohr's epistemology to the methods of Hegelian philosophy - i.e. dialectic!)

This is an amazing post - not only because it links Heisenberg, Bohr and Hegel, but I'm also interested in the line below where Heisenberg mentions some guy named Weizenhacker or whatever (I can't see and reply to the original post at the same time, so I'm going on memory!) who he says is developing a logic of quantum physics that may become an exact science in the future - if I'm remembering what he said. I wonder what became of this project - did a quantum logic (endorsed by Heisenberg) result?
