'''Hugo Albert Emil Hermann Dingler''' studied [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics mathematics], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophy philosophy], and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics physics] with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edmund_Husserl Edmund Husserl], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felix_Klein Felix Klein], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermann_Minkowski Hermann Minkowski], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Hilbert David Hilbert], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilhem_Roentgen Wilhem Roentgen]. and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woldemar_Voigt Woldemar Voigt] at the universities of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erlangen Erlangen], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6ttingen G?ttingen], and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munich Munich]. He graduated from the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Munich University of Munich] with a thesis under [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Aurel_Voss&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1 Aurel Voss]. He failed to get a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Privatdozent Privatdozent] position in mathematics at Munich, but was given a position to teach "Methods, Teaching and History of Mathematics." Thus Dingler turned from mathematics to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophy_of_science philosophy of science]. In [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1934 1934] Dingler was dismissed from his teaching position. He told several interviewers that this was because of his favorable writings concerning [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jew Jews]. In fact he was dismissed as part of a general retrenchment and not at this time for political reasons. Later his reinstatement was opposed for political reasons, but by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1940 1940] he had joined the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi Nazi] Party and was given a teaching position. Of Dingler?s [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1944 1944] book ''Lehrbuch der Exakten Naturwissenschaften'' only thirty copies survived wartime bombing.<br />
<br />
Dingler?s position is usually characterized as "conventionalist" by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Popper Karl Popper] and others. Sometimes he is called a "radical conventionalist", as by the early [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudolf_Carnap Rudolf Carnap]. Dingler himself initially characterized it as "critical conventionalism" to contrast it with the "na?ve conventionalism" of other philosophers such as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henri_Poincar%C3%A9 Poincar?], but he himself later ceased to call his position conventionalist. Dingler agrees with the conventionalists that the fundamental assumptions of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometry geometry] and physics are not extracted empirically and cannot be given a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcendental transcendental] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deduction deduction]. However, Dingler disagrees with conventionalists such as Henri Poincar? in that he does not believe there is freedom to choose alternative assumptions. Dingler believes that one can give a foundation to mathematics and physics by means of operations as building stones. Dingler claims that this [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation operational] analysis leads one to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_geometry Euclidean geometry] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newtonian_mechanics Newtonian mechanics], which are the only possible results.<br />
<br />
Dingler opposed [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein Einstein]?s [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relativity_theory relativity theory] and was therefore opposed and snubbed by most of the leaders of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germany German] physics and mathematics community. This opposition, at least to the theory of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_relativity general relativity] remains in the work of his follower [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Lorenzen Paul Lorenzen].<br />
<br />
Paul Lorenzen, noted for his work on constructive foundations of mathematics was a follower of Dingler, at least with respect to the foundations of geometry and physics. The so-called Erlangen School of followers and allies of Lorenzen, including [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kuno_Lorenz&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1 Kuno Lorenz], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wilhelm_Kamlah&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1 Wilhelm Kamlah], and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Janich Peter Janich], and more indirectly, [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Juergen_Mittelstrass&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1 Juergen Mittelstrass], is thus in large part pursuing a modernized version of Dingler?s program which claims to incorporate [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_relativity relativity], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_mechanics quantum theory] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_logic quantum logic]. - <em>Wikipedia</em><br />
