As electrical engineer I've always been interested in the duality problem, wave-particle, and from both the excellent introduction by Michel Bitbol and the first chapter a, July 1952 Colloquium, I really became very much safisfied with the clarity of the exposition of this book by the father of Quantum Mechanics.
It is obvious that the point of view of Schrodinger was not that one of mainstream physics at the time, as he wrote:
I am opposing not a few special statements of quantum mechanics held today, I am opposing as it were the whole of it...
In this whole chapter he demonstrates that the wave point of view is so general that:
Wave mechanics can never conflict with the U.P. The conflict is produced by imposing on wave mechanics the probability view... To my mind it is patently absurd to let the wave function be controlled in two different ways, at times by the wave equations, but occasionally by direct interference of the observer, not controlled by the wave equation.
So what I really wonder after reading this book is why it is not referenced when studying quantum mechanics. We really have to thank his daughter, Ruth Braunizer, for publishing these lectures and notes quite important not only for physicists but also for philosophers.

Siempre he estado interesado como ingeniero electricista en el problema de la dualidad onda-partícula y tanto por la introducción por Michel Bitbol como por el primer capítulo un, July 1952 Colloquium, quedé plenamente satisfecho con la claridad de la exposición en este libro del padre de la mecánica cuántica.
Es obvio que el punto de vista de Schrodinger not era el de la corriente principal en la física puesto que escribió:
Me opongo no a unos cuantos puntos de la mecánica cuántica de hoy, sino a todo el asunto...
En todo este capítulo él demuestra que el punto de vista de onda, es tan general que:
La mecánica ondulatoria no puede entrar nunca en conflicto con el Principio de Incertidumbre. El conflicto se produce al imponerle a la mecánica ondulatoria el punto de vista probabilístico... Para mí es un absurdo dejar que la función de onda sea controlada por 2 puntos de vista diferentes, algunas veces por la ecuación ondulatoria, y ocasionalmente por la interferencia directa del observador, y ya no por la ecuación de onda.
Lo que ahora me pregunto después de leer este libro, es por qué no es referenciado cuando se estudia mecánica cuántica. Tenemos realmente que dar las gracias a su hija, Ruth Braunizer, por publicar estas conferencias y notas muy importantes, no sólo para los físicos sino también para los filósofos interesados en estos temas.
