Popis: In this note we discuss a purely algebraic proof of Weyl’s theorem that all finite-dimensional representations of a complex semisimple Lie algebra are completely reducible. We give a simple and direct proof which is elementary in the sense that it does not use cohomology, and which is a synthesis of the older proofs of Casimir ‐ van der Waerden and of Brauer.
