CHAPTER Xn THE LAW OF SUBSTANCE The Fundamental Chemical Law of the Constancy of Matter--The Fundamental Physical Law of the Conservation of Energy--Combination of Both Laws in the Law of Substance--The Kinetic, Pyknotic, and Dualistic Ideas of Substance--Monism of Matter--Ponderable Matter--Atoms and Elements--Affinity of the Elements--The Soul of the Atom (Feeling and Inclination)--Existence and Character of Ether--Ether and Ponderable Matter--Force and Energy--Potential and Actual Force--Unity of Natural Forces--Supremacy of the Law of Substance TTHE supreme and all-pervading law of nature, the . true and only cosmological law, is, in my opinion, the law of substance; its discovery and establishment is the greatest intellectual triumph of the nineteenth century, in the sense that all other known laws of nature are subordinate to it. Under the name of "law of substance" we embrace two supreme laws of different origin and age--the older is the chemical law of the "conservation of matter," and the younger is the physical law of the "conservation of energy." It will be self-evident to many readers, and it is acknowledged by most of the scientific men of the day, that these two great laws are essentially inseparable. This fundamental thesis, however, is still much contested in some quarters, and we must proceed to furnish the proof of it. But we must first devote a few words to each of the two laws. Cf. Monism, by Ernst Haeckel. The law of the "persistence" or "indestructibility of matter," established by Lavoisier in 1789, may be formulated thus: The sum of matter, which fills infinite space, is unchangeable. A body has merely changed its form, when it seems to have disappeared. When coal burns, it is changed into carbonic-acid gas by...
Book Synopsis The Riddle of the World by : Barbara Hannan

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an introduction to the philosophy of Arthur Schopenhauer, written in a lively, personal style. Hannan emphasizes the peculiar inconsistencies and tensions in Schopenhauer's thought--he was torn between idealism and realism, and between denial and affirmation of the individual will. In addition to providing a useful summary of Schopenhauer's main ideas, Hannan connects Schopenhauer's thought with ongoing debates in philosophy. According to Hannan, Schopenhauer was struggling half-consciously to break altogether with Kant and transcendental idealism; the anti-Kantian features of Schopenhauer's thought possess the most lasting value. Hannan defends panpsychist metaphysics of will, comparing it with contemporary views according to which causal power is metaphysically basic. Hannan also defends Schopenhauer's ethics of compassion against Kant's ethics of pure reason, and offers friendly amendments to Schopenhauer's theories of art, music, and "salvation." She also illuminates the deep connection between Schopenhauer and the early Wittgenstein, as well as Schopenhauer's influence on existentialism and psychoanalytic thought.

Book excerpt: Those readers who know the author's other writings can easily anticipate the character of the pages within this book, which are founded upon the reaction of thought, brought about in consequence of scientific research and its results during the closing century. To quote the translator, Ernst Haeckel herein summarizes the evidence for the evolution of the mind in a masterly and profoundly interesting fashion. The author himself considers this work, "The Riddle of the Universe," collates and marks the close of his studies on the monistic conception of the universe. He says that the earlier plan, projected by him many years ago, of constructing a complete system of monistic philosophy on the basis of evolution cannot now be carried into effect, owing to his failing strength. He adds that being " wholly a child of the nineteenth century, with its close I draw the line under my life's work." There is a touch of sadness in these words, which we trust is only caused by temporary indisposition at the time of writing. The scheme of the book before us is a brilliant review of the labours and discoveries of most of the important investigators in the field of scientific research. These are collated and applied by the author to the construction of a philosophy of which he is the apostle. The subjects touched upon by him are briefly:' the nature of the problem of the universe, including the condition of civilisation and thought at the close of the nineteenth century; he fundamental importance of anatomy, both human and comparative; the cellular theory with regard to man's place in Nature; the development of the study of physiology from the Middle Ages; embryonic development and the theories of preformation and scatulation; the history of our species, with an account of the fossil Pithecanthropus of Dubois; the nature of the soul; psychic gradations; the embryology of the soul; the phylogeny of the soul; consciousness, giving the various theories of Descartes, Darwin, Schopenhauer, Fechner, and Schultze; the immortality of the soul; the law of substance, including the chemical law of the constancy of matter and the physical law of the conservation of energy; the evolution of the world; the unity of Nature; God and the world; knowledge and belief; science and Christianity; monistic religion and ethics: the solution of the world problems ; and a brief conclusion, in which he points out that the number of world-riddles has been continually diminishing in the course of the nineteenth century, through the progress of a truer knowledge of Nature. Yet, as says the author, one comprehensive riddle of the universe still remains-the problem of substance, otherwise the Cosmos. The author goes on to say we do not know "the thing in itself" that lies behind the knowable phenomena of matter and energy by which the universe is continued.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ignorabimus! We will never know! With this statement and his talk on the limits of natural knowledge in 1872, Emil du Bois-Reymond stirred up a controversy (the Ignorabimus-Streit), which spread widely beyond German-speaking countries. It concerned the very possibility to set boundaries to knowledge, the development of the sciences, their attainable results, and concept formation. In this volume, the philosophical value of the Ignorabimus controversy is critically examined. The historicalmatter and its theoretical implications are assessed with regard to the mutual relationships between philosophy and the sciences in the 19th century and beyond.
