However, because an understanding ofturbulence requires an understanding of laminar flow, both areexplored in this book.Groundwork is laid by careful delineation of the necessary physical,mathematical, and numerical requirements for the studies which follow,and include discussions of N-body problems, classical molecularmechanics, dynamical equations, and the leap frog formulas for verylarge systems of second order ordinary differential equations.TurbulenceMathematical modelsLaminar flowMathematical modelsWater vapor transportMathematical modelsVaporsMathematical modelsElectronic books.TurbulenceMathematical models.Laminar flowMathematical models.Water vapor transportMathematical models.VaporsMathematical models.532/.052/015118Greenspan Donald12697MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910450224903321Molecular and particle modelling of laminar and turbulent flows1975157UNINA03656nam 2200649 450 991079117410332120200903223051.090-04-25494-310.1163/9789004254947(CKB)2550000001331827(EBL)1744671(SSID)ssj0001262352(PQKBManifestationID)11704153(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001262352(PQKBWorkID)11215898(PQKB)11398461(MiAaPQ)EBC1744671(nllekb)BRILL9789004254947(Au-PeEL)EBL1744671(CaPaEBR)ebr10896579(CaONFJC)MIL628922(OCoLC)886678392(PPN)184936012(EXLCZ)99255000000133182720140726h20142014 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrThe problem of disenchantment scientific naturalism and esoteric discourse, 1900-1939 /Egil AspremLeiden, Netherlands :Brill,2014.©20141 online resource (643 p.)Numen Book Series,0169-8834 ;Volume 147Description based upon print version of record.90-04-25192-8 1-306-97671-5 Includes bibliographical references and index.Preliminary Material -- Introduction: The Limits of Reason -- 1 From Process to Problem -- 2 Science as Worldview -- 3 Brave New World: An Introduction to Part Two -- 4 Physical Science in a Modern Mode -- 5 The Meaning of Life: Mechanism and Purpose in the Sciences of Life and Mind -- 6 Five Schools of Natural Theology: Reconciling Science and Religion -- 7 Against Agnosticism: Psychical Research and the Naturalisation of the Supernatural -- 8 Laboratories of Enchantment: Parapsychology in Search of a Paradigm -- 9 Professionals Out of the Ordinary: How Parapsychology Became a University Discipline -- 10 Esoteric Epistemologies -- 11 The Problems of a Gnostic Science: The Case of Theosophy’s Occult Chemistry -- 12 Perceiving Higher Worlds: Two Perspectives -- Conclusion: Implications for the Study of Science, Religion, and Esotericism -- Bibliography -- Index of Names -- Index of Subjects.The Problem of Disenchantment offers a comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach to the intellectual history of science, religion, and “the occult” in the early 20th century. By developing a new approach to Max Weber’s famous idea of a “disenchantment of the world”, and drawing on an impressively diverse set of sources, Egil Asprem opens up a broad field of inquiry that connects the histories of science, religion, philosophy, and Western esotericism. Parapsychology, occultism, and the modern natural sciences are usually viewed as distinct cultural phenomena with highly variable intellectual credentials. In spite of this view, Asprem demonstrates that all three have met with similar intellectual problems related to the intelligibility of nature, the relation of facts to values, and the dynamic of immanence and transcendence, and solved them in comparable terms.Studies in the history of religions ;Volume 147.ReligionScienceOccultismReligion.Science.Occultism.001.9Asprem Egil1507268MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910791174103321The problem of disenchantment3737835UNINA
