Abstract
In writing a book like this it seems improbable to avoid mistakes. I hope I have kept their number and magnitude to a minimum. Furthermore, it is impossible to avoid omissions of relevant ideas, topics, points of views, etc. Although I have tried to present a great diversity of topics and points of view, completeness is unattainable. In the unavoidable process of selection, much is left out and thus a one-sided, (over)simplified and even distorted picture results. I hope again that the (over)simpliflcation and distortion have been kept to a minimum, but the reader must be warned.
“Everything that is thought and expressed in words is onesided, only half the truth; it lacks totality, completeness, unity”
(Hermann Hesse: Siddhartha 1957, p. 115).
