{"product_id":"9781108463287","title":"Interpreting Mach","description":"This volume presents new essays on the work and thought of physicist, psychologist, and philosopher Ernst Mach. 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.","brand":"John Preston","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47810009891134,"sku":"9781108463287","price":1404.01,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9781108463287_9ea6d213-2c40-41fa-b68e-452afd11df34.jpg?v=1707410287","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9781108463287","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
