IN THE SPIRIT OF SYMMETRY:

UNIFICATION OF MIND AND WORLD BY EDUCATION

PETER KLEIN

Abstract:  Being conscious of the rapid approach of my retirement, I feel it about time to elaborate the inner context of my various contributions to ISIS-Symmetry and to set them into a general, comprehensive perspective (cf. refs. Klein, P. 1990-2004).As a physicist, I know „physics“, the system of natural laws, as valid for the whole universe, that appears as a system of selforganizing matter. As an educator, I see my duty in fostering young people to develop their minds towards awareness and cognition of these laws, so as to make them the indispensable basis of a successful, satisfying, and beautiful conduct of life. The ideas were already conceived in Romantic theory of eruditation through symmetry.
