Frontmatter -- Contents -- 1. Introduction -- 2. The Empirical Determination of Physical Concepts in Kant's Metaphysical Foundations of Natural Science -- 3. Helmholtz on the Comprehension of Nature -- 4. Colour-theory and Manifolds -- 5. The Road to Empirical Geometry -- 6. Helmholtz on Geometry, 1868 - 1878 -- 7. Conclusion -- BackmatterThis book offers a new interpretation of Hermann von Helmholtz's work on the epistemology of geometry. A detailed analysis of the philosophical arguments of Helmholtz's Erhaltung der Kraft shows that he took physical theories to be constrained by a regulative ideal. They must render nature "completely comprehensible", which implies that all physical magnitudes must be relations among empirically given phenomena. This conviction eventually forced Helmholtz to explain how geometry itself could be so construed. Hyder shows how Helmholtz answered this question by drawing on the theory of magnitudes developed in his research on the colour-space. He argues against the dominant interpretation of Helmholtz's work by suggesting that for the latter, it is less the inductive character of geometry that makes it empirical, and rather the regulative requirement that the system of natural science be empirically closed.Quellen und Studien zur Philosophie ;Bd. 69.GeometryPhilosophyElectronic books.GeometryPhilosophy.516516.001CF 5017rvkHyder David Jalal1964-1029220MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910455280303321The determinate world2492089UNINA02343nam 2200517 a 450 991114325080332120251117084726.097819122348511912234858(CKB)2670000000241005(EBL)3111177(MiAaPQ)EBC3111177(Au-PeEL)EBL3111177(CaPaEBR)ebr10594060(OCoLC)811407997(Perlego)1304451(BIP)35371924(EXLCZ)99267000000024100520120904d2010 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierPublic intellectuals and the politics of global Africa comparative and biographical essays in honour of Ali A.

The rise of Obama and the politics of identity.Ali Mazrui has been described as one of the most original thinkers that Africa has produced, and one of the top 100 living public intellectuals in the world today. This volume uses Mazrui's life and work as a guide towards explaining the historical impact of black public intellectuals such as Julius K. Nyerere, Patrice Lumumba and Barrack Obama. The book explores not only politics and academics, but also religion, gender, class and civil-military relations, bringing together into the black experience both Plato's concept of the "philosopher King" and V.I. Lenin's notion of the 'intelligentsia'.AfricanistsIntellectualsAfricanists.Intellectuals.Adem Seifudein1183195Mazrui Ali AlAmin130631MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911143250803321Public intellectuals and the politics of global Africa4869822UNINA
