Ewing - - Philosophy 9 34 The Religion of China, Confucianism and Taoism. Jan 06, Delante Bess rated it it was amazing. This is a book for any and all readers. It gives a clear perspective of the history of science and the many other challenging problems that still to this day have not been solved.
This is a brief reading on the views of Max Planck regarding the development of Science in the first decades of the 20th Century. Although many of the discoveries and achievements mentioned by him are somewhat outdated, what is really striking is the critical and humble approach that he has on describing the Scientific Method - its limitations and its potentials.

The book is a lot more about Philosophy of Science, and it is very well written for those that are not familiar with some of the hard sciences.
I recommend it to all of those that are interested in the History of Modern Science and in the people that helped to build its foundations. Mar 06, Johnny Altomonte rated it it was amazing. Brilliant essays on art, science, causality, and existence. I didn't expect such eloquence from Planck! Nov 14, Ashkan rated it really liked it Shelves: physics , philosophy , re-read. Fifty Years of Science Summarizing the altering progress in physical science in the past fifty years, in 3 different theories: 1.
Theory of Electrons: Problem of origin of rays and the nature of their activity. Leads to "Discovery of free electrons", which cause dispersion of light. Then discovery of bounded electrons, and at last the positive electricity.
The Relativity Theory: Introduction of space-time dimension.

The Quantum Theory: Computing the absolute weight of atoms, and discovering the independent existence and activity of light quota Is the External World Real?
Starting with the sceptic attacks on science after religion and art , we are in search of building-stones of truth. Logic in its purest form mathematics only co-ordinates and articulates one truth with another, therefore can not be foundation of truth. Then we turn to "physics" : Human mind coming to a knowledge of external reality. To arrive at universal elementary laws from which the cosmos can be built up by pure deduction. Hence physics is dependent upon and controlled by the world of sense-perception, and there is no pure logical way to these laws.
This school accepts only one's own experience as primary data. Planck critics their ideology by saying that: 1 In this way there would be no place for ideas or imagination. We believe, however, that Prof. Planck will be known to posterity not only as a man of science, but also as a philosopher of unusual insight and clarity of expression.
The principle of causality and the value of our knowledge of the external world are his main interests in this field. The need for something different from the established order, which is a feature of our civilisation, has caused many thinkers to draw hasty conclusions from the revolutionary physics of the day.
