5.0 out of 5 stars Kommentar ueber die Verantwortung der modernen Wissenschaft, August 23, 1998
By 
00203663@bigred.unl.edu (University of Nebraska - USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Die Physiker (English and German Edition) (Paperback)
Eine wunderbare, interessante Kritik und Fragestellung ueber die Rolle der modernen Wissenschaften in der heutigen Gesellschaft. Ein Physiker macht as ob er verrueckt waere und findet sich im Irrenhaus. (Indem er sagt, er hoere Koenig Solomon.) Er begegnet drei anderen verrueckten Physikern, die tatsaechlich Spionen sind, die von drei Maechten geschickt worden sind. Sie wollen ihn ueberzuegen, er sollte mit ihnen gehen, weil er als Physiker das sogenannte "Unified Field Theorem" entdeckte. Hauptfragen: Koennte dieses Wissen misgebraucht werden? Kann man Wissen zuruecknehmen? Falls so oder nicht, auf welche Weisen sind Wissenschaftler und Forscher fuer ihre Entdeckungen moralisch verantwortlich? Eben meine Lieblingsdrama!

- Paul

5.0 out of 5 stars Eines der interessantesten deutschen Werke, August 31, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Die Physiker (English and German Edition) (Paperback)
Dieses Buch ist eines der kreativsten Werke Duerrenmatts. Er verwandte einen ausgesprochen treffenden Sarkasmus um das Problem der Wissenschaft (Wer traegt die Verantwortung?)zum besten zu geben. Dieses Buch ist leicht zu lesen, da es nur weniger Vorkenntnisse bedarf und gibt doch einen sehr tiefen Einblick in die verschiedenen Ansichten einiger Physiker. Auch das Ende diese Werkes wurde gekonnt gestaltet, denn es regt den Leser an sich selbst mit dem besagten Thema zu beschaeftigen. Wer dieses Buch versaeumt hat zu lesen, sollte es unbedingt nachholen, denn es gehoert einfach zur Allgemeinbildung.
