Scope and content
Pauli makes a comment on Fierz's letter. He writes that equations which cannot be derived from a variation principle must fail in the end, both in the mechanics of points and in classical field theory. He speaks about a book by Jordan and he speculates on the origin of life. Pauli suspects that its first beginnings are non-reproductive phenomena like Jung's "synchronic" phenomena.
