From Classical Field Theory to Perturbative Quantum Field Theory
This book develops a novel approach to perturbative quantum field theory: starting with a perturbative formulation of classical field theory, quantization is achieved by means of deformation quantization of the underlying free theory and by applying

Dedicated to the memory of Raymond Stora and Eberhard Zeidler. Besides H. Epstein and V. Glaser, Raymond Stora is one of the fathers of causal perturbation theory and he passionately worked on this topic until the end of his life [10]. In innumerable discussions with Eberhard Zeidler I learned a lot about the mathematical aspects of quantum field theory and the “unity of mathematics and physics”, and he strongly encouraged me to write this book.
