Interpreting Mach

Herausgeber: Preston, John

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This volume presents new essays on the work and thought of the physicist, psychologist and philosopher Ernst Mach. Moving away from the image of a 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.
