Hilbert's strong epistemic claims for mathematics had also deeply alienated conservative humanists on the Göttingen faculty, many of whom feared a realignment of traditional disciplinary boundaries (Rowe 1986). Neugebauer's personal relationship with Courant reflects many of the broader mathematical and scientific interests the two men shared.…”
