Abstract

Abstract What sorts of public roles were open to scientists after World War II? Werner Heisenberg, 1932 Nobel laureate in physics, became a prominent figure on the West German public stage. His activity was not confined to science policy, but encompassed certain broader political interventions as well as a notable cultural presence. These postwar years offer interesting insights into Heisenberg as an individual, and his case provides a perspective on the character of scientists' public prominence.
