Abstract
Physics and philosophy are not two independent disciplines. They share a common
origin; both contribute significantly to our worldview, and in my opinion there remain
several levels of mutual dependence between them — in particular in the areas where
they impinge on each other: natural philosophy, fundamental physics and to some ex-
tent epistemology. Not all these relations of mutual dependence can or should be made
explicit, but an awareness of their existence is necessary for both disciplines. A philo-
sophical interpretation of fundamental physical theories is a necessary part of such an
awareness.
