Philosophers are concerned actually not with technical things said my friend Jürgen and described with Plato’s theory of ideas an example of philosophical thought: … according to Plato, the objects perceived by our senses are only images of “Ideas”, the archetypal patterns of all objects ...
The conversation about Leibniz’s calculating machine and Plato’s theory of ideas— and the discussions about Marxism and Existentialism in Berlin in the 1960s—were the beginning of an intensive occupation with philosophical questions. The engineering education provoked a strong interest in the physical basics of technology, so that besides freelance engineering development work in the optical industry, I studied physics at the Free University of Berlin. Thereby I also learned the analytical philosophy of Wittgenstein. After my doctorate, I worked in research, teaching and technical manageme
