Helmholz witnessed the final transition of the German universities from purely pedagogical academies to institutions devoted to organized research. No less than the idealist generation before him, he longed to understand the ultimate, subjective sources of knowledge. That longing found expression in the determination to understand the role of the sense organs, as mediators of experience, in the synthesis of knowledge. Helmholtz owed the scope and depth characteristic of his greatest work largely to the mathematical and expirimental expertise which he brought to his science. Especially in physiology that expertise, shared by few other physiologists of the day, made possible the imposing theoretical and experimental edifices that Helmholtz erected from the simplest physiological principles.” (DSB). DSB VI/241-253; NDB VIII/501; Poggendorff I/1059-1060 and III/611-612. Image disp.‎
