This edited volume features essays written in honor of Ernst Mach.
It explores his life, work, and legacy. Readers will gain a better
understanding of this natural scientist and scholar who made major
contributions to physics, the philosophy of science, and
physiological psychology. The essays offer a critical inventory of
Mach's lifework in line with state-of-the-art research and
historiography. It begins with physics, where he paved the way for
Einstein's Theory of Relativity. The account continues with Mach's
contributions in biology, psychology, and physiology pioneering
with an empiricist and gestalthaft Analysis of Sensations. Readers
will also discover how in the philosophy of science he served as a
model for the Vienna Circle with the Ernst Mach Society as well as
paved the way for an integrated history and theory of science.
Indeed, his influence extends far beyond the natural sciences -- to
the Vienna Medical School and psychoanalysis (R. Barany, J. Breuer,
S. Freud), to literature (Jung Wien, R. Musil), to politics (F.
Adler, Austro-Marxism and the Viennese adult education), to arts
between Futurism and Minimal Art as well as to social sciences
between the liberal school (J. Schumpeter, F. A. von Hayek) and
empirical social research (P. Lazarsfeld und M. Jahoda).
