About this Product

Ernst Mach -- A Deeper Look has been written to reveal to English-speaking readers the recent revival of interest in Ernst Mach in Europe and Japan. The book is a storehouse of new information on Mach as a philosopher, historian, scientist and person, containing a number of biographical and philosophical manuscripts publihsed for the first time, along with correspondence and other matters published for the first time in English. The book also provides English translations of Machs controversies with leading physicists and psychologists, such as Max Planck and Carl Stumpf, and offers basic evidence for resolving Machs position on atomism and Einsteins theory of relativity.
Machs scientific, philosophical and personal influence in a number of countries -- Austria, Germany, Bohemia and Yugoslavia among them -- has been carefully explored and many aspects detailed for the first time.
All of the articles are eminently readable, especially those written by Machs sister. They are deeply researched, new interpretations abound, and the bibliography includes recent works by and about Mach from over a dozen countries.
The book also contains many articles by or about Machs contemporaries, including Ostwald, Dingler, Weichert and, especially, Einstein. Finally, and most intriguingly, the original ideas of Japanese scholars are presented, built on Machs philosophy. These demonstrate how Machs world view is currently contributing to the solution of contemporary philosophical problems.
