Graßmann’s sources of inspiration

Abstract

As we have already learned in previous sections, Hermann Graßmann and his father shared a common approach to scientific research. Unfortunately, this relationship has received little attention in scientific literature. Apart from the author’s dissertation from 1978 (Petsche 1979a), on which we will largely rely here, recent publications have discussed the influence of the Romantic philosophy of nature on Justus Graßmann (Heuser 1996) and the influence of Justus Graßmann’s vector algebraic approaches on the work of Hermann Graßmann (Scholz 1996). An analysis of Justus Graßmann’s ideas concerning the structure of mathematics and the foundations of arithmetic, and of the subsequent impact of these ideas on his son, has also been published (Radu 2000).
