This is actually the deeper reason for using the word ‘approach’ in the title of this book. 8) – to the recognition that there are color phenomena which we just cannot fully understand. In every chapter, I try first to describe some facts, experiments, examples, and observations, and then to give a personal interpretation which may lead to greater understanding or – as indicated briefly for brain research and consciousness in the epilogue (Chapt. The multidisciplinary approach of this book cannot be comprehensive at all. 6), as well as a link to color in art and other human cultural activities (Chapt. In a literal sense, but in a highly complex manner, color terms may be called a psychological response function of color perception and cognition in the brain (see Chapt. Through colorimetry, I developed an interest in color vision and, in the context of my interest in languages, color naming. ![]() In teaching, I tried to follow the maxim of Tadeusz Reichstein (1897–1996,discoverer of cortisone, Nobel Prize 1950), the principal mentor of my ‘Habilitation’ at the University of Basle, that one should enjoy one’s profession by being inquisitive and pursuing the unexpected. Since that time, I have, therefore, devoted practically all ofmy own research activities to the strengthening of such potential crosslinks first mainly with physical organic chemistry, later also with physical chemistry, and via colorimetry, physics. Yet, only a very few of those chemists were aware of these treasures. In industry, I was already struck by the fact that color chemists were in possession of a wealth of empirical observations which would also be of considerable interest to investigators in other branches of chemistry. The first of these is my four decades in color chemistry: one as a research chemist in industrial dye chemistry and three, first at the University of Basle, then at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETH),in teaching and research in organic chemical technology, with a particular accent on color and textile chemistry.
