Experiment and Metaphysics - Towards a Resolution of the Cosmological Antinomies (Paperback)

Edgar Wind was one of the most distinguished art historians and philosophers of the twentieth century. He made crucial contributions to debates on aesthetics and on the interdisciplinary nature of cultural history involving such other leading figures as Ernst Cassirer and Erwin Panofsky. It is not always realised, however, that his early thinking was moulded by a concern with the German philosophical tradition, culminating in the analysis of the meaning and function of scientific experimentation and proof. This first edition in English of Edgar Wind's important work Das Experiment und die Metaphysik: Zur Aufloesung der kosmologischen Antinomien (1934) has been translated by Cyril Edwards, and is prefaced by a new introduction by Matthew Rampley placing Wind's philosophical thinking in context. It is being published to coincide with the opening in 2000 of the Sackler Library in Oxford, which will include a Wind Reading room. (Legenda 2000)
