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 Mach's controversies with leading physicists and psychologists,  such as Max Planck and Carl Stumpf, and offers basic evidence for  resolving Mach's position on atomism and Einstein's theory of  relativity. \u003cbr\u003e  Mach's 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. \u003cbr\u003e  All of the articles are eminently readable, especially those written  by Mach's sister. They are deeply researched, new interpretations  abound, and the bibliography includes recent works by and about Mach  from over a dozen countries. \u003cbr\u003e  The book also contains many articles by or about Mach's  contemporaries, including Ostwald, Dingler, Weichert and, especially,  Einstein. Finally, and most intriguingly, the original ideas of  Japanese scholars are presented, built on Mach's philosophy. These  demonstrate how Mach's world view is currently contributing to the  solution of contemporary philosophical problems. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1992-07-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792318538\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-2771-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 229cm x152cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 463\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45378508849292,"sku":"9780792318538","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792318538.jpg?v=1772024322","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792318538","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
