It is a pleasure to write a foreword for Professor Tore Wessel-Berg's book, "Electromagnetic and Quantum Measurements: A Bitemporal Neoclassical Theory." For this reason, it makes very good sense to explore the consequences of treating microscopic phenomena on the assumption that forward time and backward time are equal.

It was not before the late fifties that HC research entered Phase III when fluorescent antibody techniques offered not only the means for detection and titration of HCV in porcine cell cultures but also for more intensive research on hog cholera and its virus.

Mit der im vorliegenden Band der Husserliana Materialien veröffentlichten Vorlesung über "Natur und Geist" vom Sommersemester 1919 sind nun nach den Ideen II und der "Natur und Geist"-Vorlesung von 1927 alle drei großen Auseinandersetzungen Husserls mit der "Natur und Geist"-Problematik in Husserliana-Ausgaben zugänglich gemacht. Die zentrale Bedeutung der Vorlesung von 1919 innerhalb der umfangreichen und langjährigen Forschungen Husserls zum "Natur und Geist"-Thema besteht in ihrer systematischen Übergangsstellung zwischen den vorherigen, mehr an Analysen zur Konstitution von Natur und Geist ausgerichteten Texten und den späteren, diese Thematik eher wissenschaftstheoretisch und wissenschaftskritisch angehenden Arbeiten. In dieser Vorlesung stellt Husserl auf der Grundlage einer allgemeinen Einleitung in die Phänomenologie umfassende Überlegungen zu einer transzendentalen Theorie von Natur und Geist an, in denen er vornehmlich die physische Natur und die ihr zuzuordnenden Wissenschaften zum Gegenstand seiner Untersuchungen macht.
