Hermann Klaus Hugo Weyl, ForMemRS[1] (Jerman: [vaɪl]; 9 November 1885 – 8 Desember 1955) adalah matematikawan, fisikawan teoretis, dan filsuf berkebangsaan Jerman. Meskipun hidupnya lebih banyak dihabiskan di Zürich, Swiss dan Princeton, ia mempunyai hubungan ke Universitas Göttingen dimana ia mempelajari matematika pada David Hilbert dan Hermann Minkowski. Penelitiannya mempunyai dampak besar pada fisika teori dan matematika seperti teori bilangan. Ia merupakan salah satu matematikawan terpenting abad 20 dan anggota utama Institute for Advanced Study di awal-awal berdirinya.[5][6][7]
To use the apt phrase of his son Michael, 'The Open World' (1932) contains “Hermann's dialogues with God” because here the mathematician confronts his ultimate concerns. These do not fall into the traditional religious traditions but are much closer in spirit to Spinoza's rational analysis of what he called "God or nature," so important for Einstein as well. ...In the end, Weyl concludes that this God “cannot and will not be comprehended” by the human mind, even though “mind is freedom within the limitations of existence; it is open toward the infinite." Nevertheless, “neither can God penetrate into man by revelation, nor man penetrate to him by mystical perception."
