A concise, uncluttered edition for the modern reader, with a new
introduction. Quantum Theory contains two foundational works of
quantum research from the early years of the 20th Century,
representing breakthroughs in science that radically altered the
landscape of modern knowledge: Quantum Theory of Line-Spectra by
Niels Bohr and The Origin and Development of the Quantum Theory by
Max Planck. The FLAME TREE Foundations series features core
publications which together have shaped the cultural landscape of
the modern world, with cutting-edge research distilled into pocket
guides designed to be both accessible and informative.
Niels Bohr: Atomphysik und menschliche Erkenntnis (Aufsatze und
Vortrage aus den Jahren 1930 bis 1961) Mit einem Vorwort zur
Neuausgabe von Karl von Meyenn
Als ich von verschiedenen Seiten aufgefordert wurde, die nach
folgenden, vor einigen Jahren in den "Naturwissenschaften"
erschienenen Artikel gesammelt herauszugeben, hatte ich emstliche
Bedenken. Es handelt sich ja urn ein Gebiet, das sich in stetiger
Entwicklung befindet und in dem es heute moglich ware, manches
klarer auszudriicken. Wie in der einleitenden Ubersicht zu einer
als Universitats-Jahresschrift im Herbst 1929 erschienenen
danischen Ausgabe der drei ersten Artikel, die nun in deutscher
Ubersetzung den erst en Abschnitt des vorliegenden kleinen Buches
bildet, erwahnt wurde, hoffe ich jedoch, daB eben die schrittweise
Klarung der Begriffsbildung, wie sie in den Artikeln zum Vorschein
kommt, einer solchen Ausgabe Interesse verleihen konne. Der hier
noch hinzugefUgte vierte Artikel, der die deutsche Dbersetzung
eines auf der skandinavischen Naturforscherversammlung Kopenhagen
1929 gehaltenen Vortrags ist, schlieBt sich zeitlich unmittelbar
der obenerwahnten Dbersicht an und ebenso sachlich, indem er
gewisser maBen als eine kurze Zusammenfassung des Inhaltes der
vorhergehenden Artikel betrachtet werden kann. Bei dieser
Herausgabe habe ich deshalb nur am SchluB der ein leitenden
Ubersicht einige als Addendum bezeichnete Bemerkungen hinzugefUgt,
die besonders die am Ende des vierten Artikels beriihrten Fragen
des Verhaltnisses zwischen der Entwicklung der Atomtheorie und der
Problemstellung der Biologie betreffen. Ganz abgesehen von dem
selbstandigen Interesse, das solche Probleme auch uns den diesem
Gebiete Femstehenden darbieten, mochte ich gem betonen, daB das Ein
gehen auf Probleme der Biologie und Psychologie in den Artikeln vor
allem daraufhinzielt, die physikalischen und
erkenntnistheoretischen Pro bleme, denen wir in der Atomtheorie
begegnet sind, in Relief zu stellen."

Quantum Theory contains the seminal works of quantum theory from
the early years of the 20th Century, representing breakthroughs in
science that radically altered the landscape of modern knowledge:
Quantum Theory of Line-Spectra by Niels Bohr and The Origin and
Development of the Quantum Theory by Max Planck. FLAME TREE's Great
Works That Shape Our World is a new series of definitive books
drawing on ancient, medieval and modern writing. Created to
entertain, inform and enrich, the new series brings infinite
variety to refresh the mind, presented in beautiful editions for
the modern market. Each book features a new, accessible
introduction, specially written for these editions, placing the
book in context both as part of the new series, and highlighting
its special contribution to the advancement of human understanding;
they examine the significance of each work, their impact at time of
publication, and their influence today.

Reflexivity is a category that is too appealing not to arouse
interest. It is a concept largely diffused in several psychological
domains, as well as associated with epistemological, theoretical,
methodological and practical discussions. At the same time, it is a
very polysemic notion, understood and used in many different ways.
If one approaches the notion and tries to identify the semantic
boundaries of its usage, the seeming solidity of the term fades
away, and a rather liquid semantic field emerges - a field where
several interpretations coexist, being contingent to the context of
the discussion in which they are implemented. This is the reason
that makes the notion of reflexivity a prototypical example of the
difficulties encountered by Psychology - and more in general social
sciences -in the effort to define their own language. The term
"reflexivity" ? like many others the language of Psychology is full
of - is used in daily life and thus its semantics is shaped by the
pragmatic, contingent functions it serves in such communicational
circumstances. The apparent - from afar ? clearness of the concept
does not concern its conceptual, epistemic status, but the capacity
of the sign to contribute efficaciously to mediate and regulate the
exchange. The theoretical elaboration of the notion of reflexivity
can be seen as one of the ways of performing the challenging task
of developing an intentional language for Psychology. By working on
such a notion one can realize that common sense lies at the core of
psychological science and what it means to separate the former from
the latter, so as to pursue the foundational task of developing
Psychology as a theory?driven science.

Niels Bohr (1885 1962) was a Danish physicist who played a key role
in the development of atomic theory and quantum mechanics, he was
awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1922. First published in
1924, this second edition of a 1922 original contains three essays
by Bohr dealing with the application of quantum theory to problems
of atomic structure: the first essay is on the spectrum of
hydrogen; the second is on the series spectra of the elements; the
third is on the structure of the atom and the physical and chemical
properties of the elements. The essays do not aim at a
comprehensive treatment of their subjects, instead providing the
reader with a more accessible, generalised viewpoint. This book
will be of value to anyone with an interest in Bohr's contribution
to physics.
