Excerpt from History and Root of the Principle of the Conservation of Energy
Quite apart from the interest which must attach to the first sketch of a way of regarding science which has become of such great importance to students both of science and of the theory of knowledge, this pamphlet is quite essential to the thorough understanding of Mach's work. In the first place, it contains a reprint of Mach's article (1868) on the definition of mass, which is, per haps, his most important contribution to mechanics; and, in the second place, the discussion of the logical root of the principle of the conservation of energy is fuller than that in any of his later publications.'

Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating history of the principle of energy conservation, a cornerstone of modern science. The author meticulously traces the concept's evolution from early inklings in the works of Galileo and Stevinus to its full articulation by Huygens and Lagrange. Through careful analysis of original sources, the author reveals how the principle, often expressed as the impossibility of perpetual motion, served as a hidden foundation for major scientific advancements long before its formal recognition. This historical exploration sheds light on the intricate interplay between scientific ideas and the cultural context in which they develop. Challenging the common view that the principle is solely a product of the mechanical worldview, the author argues for its deeper roots in human thought. This leads to a critical examination of the limitations of a purely mechanical interpretation of physics, urging a broader and more nuanced understanding of natural phenomena. Ultimately, this book invites us to re-evaluate the significance of the conservation principle, not just as a scientific law, but as a fundamental lens through which we can comprehend the intricate workings of the universe.
