The Inwardness of Light and the Circular Nature of Imaginary Numbers
Description
A contribution by Ulrich Pinkall
How can Rudolf Steiner’s spiritual-scientific concept of a “fourth dimension of inwardness” be thought together with the exact tools of modern mathematics and physics? What at first glance appears to be a contradiction reveals itself on closer inspection – whether in quantum mechanics, electrodynamics or fluid mechanics – as one and the same form of thought.
A contribution by Ulrich Pinkall to the mathematical study conference in October 2025 at the Goetheanum.
