Nature From Within: Gustav Theodor Fechner And His Psychophysical Worldview
Autor Michael Heidelbergeren Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 mai 2018
Gustav Theodor Fechner (1801-1887) was a German physicist, psychologist, and philosopher, best known to historians of science as the founder of psychophysics, the experimental study of the relation between mental and physical processes. Michael Heidelberger's exhaustive exploration of Fechner's writings, in relation to current issues in the field, successfully reestablishes Fechner's place in the history and philosophy of science.

Recenzii
"A brilliant book. . . . No historian of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century German science and philosophy can afford to ignore it." —British Journal for the History of Science
“A clear, comprehensive, and rigorous treatment of the philosophical basis for Fechner’s thought, including, importantly, the way in which he was able to reconcile apparently divergent intellectual themes in his philosophical and scientific writing.” —Isis
“Almost mandatory reading as it provides many new historical insights that are quite significant for contemporary philosophy of science.” —Vienna Circle Institute Yearbook
