Description “Specifically, I have researched the background to, the debate upon, and the aftermath of the physiologist-physicist Emil du Bois-Reymond's 1872 proclamation of `absolute limits to science', as well as its connections to the lives and work of his friend ... Hermann von Helmholtz and his contemporary pathologist-politician Rudolf Virchow.” Cited in Diss. Abstr. Int. A 54 (1994): 4235. Univ. Microfilms order no. 94-12305.
