Erkenntnis und Irrtum. Skizzen zur Psychologie der Forschung. Von
E. MACH Emer. Professor an der Unlversltlt Wlen. LEIPZIG Verlag von
Johann Ambrosius Barth 1905. INTRODUCTION XIII On a number of
occasions Mach expressed the sentiment, especially in his
correspondence, that America was the land of intellectual freedom
and opportunity, the coming frontier for a new radical empiricism
that would help to wash metaphysics out of philosophy. In 1901 he
sponsored the German edition of Concepts and Theories of Modern
Physics (1881) 2 by J. B. Stallo, Cincinnati lawyer and
philosopher. Mach warmly endorsed Stallo's book because his
scientific aims so closely approximated his own, and because Stallo
rejected the latent metaphysical elements and concealed ontological
assumptions of the mechanical-atomistic inter pretation of the
world. The second edition of Wiirmelehre was dedicated to Stallo in
1900. The fourth edition of Populiir-wissenschaftliche Vorlesungen
(1910), containing seven new essays, was dedicated to Harvard
Professor of physiology, philosophY, and psychology, William James.
Mach had a strong intellectual affinity for James' pragmatism
because, like himself, he recognized that James had come to
radically empirical views from science. Both men took pure
pre-conceptualized experience, from which the mental and physical
predicates of experience are composed, to be neutral rather than
real, unreal, objective or subjective."
