description

AbstractIt is a honor for me to contribute to the ‘Festschrift for Teiji Tsuruta’! Being old, it is much easier for me to look back than to think ahead. Thus, please allow me to make a few ‘historical remarks’ about Biomaterials and Biotechnology, long before Science stepped in. Remarks about Georg Christoph Lichtenberg, the Gottinger physicist and philosopher, and his relation to Teiji Tsuruta. And talking about him as teacher, one cannot do it without looking at Hermann Staudinger and his dreams.
