Pauli thanks Jordan for sending him the booklet on "Komplementarität und Verdrägung". He writes of C G Jung's interest in these questions as well as in Rhine's experiments. He talks about Jung's "synchronistic" phenomena.
Zonder titelPauli criticizes certain passages in Heisenberg's manuscript of the Dialectica-article, and asks to correct them. He writes about the "fundamental length" in quantum theory. The problem is not how to introduce such a length, but how to get rid of the multitude of lengths (Compton-length for each particle) in the present theory.
Zonder titelPauli comments on the treatment of a certain integral. He writes about the structure of a future theory which will describe simultaneously all elementary particles and their masses.
Zonder titelPauli's letter is on existensialism, on the process of cognition and the idea of God, on the concept of reality, and the reality of symbols, on the relation of physics and psychology and on Jung's reaction on Pauli's ideas.
Zonder titelPauli talks about questions concerning the "Dialectica" issue. He also writes about recent progress in theoretical work on electrodynamics and mesonic problems. He reminds Bohr to not forget Sommerfeld's 80th birthday on the 5th December 1948.
Zonder titelPauli thanks Bohr for his letter of November 26. He is expecting now almost every day the appearance of the issue of "Dialectica". He is not sure whether it was really a good idea to send him some manuscripts by Born.
Zonder titelPauli writes about papers written by Schwinger on vacuum polarization and self-energy. He adds remarks words on Dyson and Feynman.
Zonder titelPauli received an elaboration of Jauch's lecture.
Zonder titelPauli discusses on his work on unipolar induction and on his reactions to Dirac's theory of the single magnetic pole.
