Digital Rare Book :
Physics and Philosophy
By Werner Heisenberg
Published by George Allen & Unwin Ltd., London - 1959

The Gifford Lectures were established by the will of Adam Lord Gifford (died 1887). They were established to "promote and diffuse the study of Natural Theology in the widest sense of the term — in other words, the knowledge of God." The term natural theology as used by Gifford means theology supported by science and not dependent on the miraculous. The lectures are given at the Scottish universities: University of St Andrews, University of Glasgow, University of Aberdeen and University of Edinburgh.

A Gifford lectures appointment is one of the most prestigious honors in Scottish academia. They are normally presented as a series over an academic year and given with the intent that the edited content be published in book form. A number of these works have become classics in the fields of theology or philosophy and their relationship to science.

For those interested in knowing more about W Heisenberg, the play "Copenhagen" by M.Frayn is a must-watch. It really touches upon various facets of his personality.
