Moving away from previous estimations of Mach as a pre-logical positivist, the essays reflect his rehabilitation as a thinker of direct relevance to debates in the contemporary philosophies of natural science, psychology, metaphysics, and mind. Topics covered include Mach's work on acoustical psychophysics and physics; his ideas on analogy and the principle of conservation of energy; the correct interpretation of his scheme of 'elements' and its relationship to his 'historical-critical' method; the relationship of his thought to movements such as American pragmatism, realism, and neutral monism, as well as to contemporary figures such as Friedrich Nietzsche; and the reception and influence of his works in Germany and Austria, particularly by the Vienna Circle.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46433069695127,"sku":"9781108474016","price":6704.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781108474016.webp?v=1769307068","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/interpreting-mach-9781108474016","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
