Description “The main aim of the present paper is to show that unification for Weyl and his contemporaries was understood not merely as a synthesis of the electromagnetic and gravitational fields but also as a unification of geometry and physics and as the quest for a universal world law accounting for both the structure of cosmos and matter. Its second purpose is to map the cognitive and social environment that nurtured and made feasible this quest for unification, namely the German university town of Göttingen.”
