On Physiological, as Distinguished from Geometrical, Space.
We have already seen Ernst Mach (1838–1916) in the first volume of this collection, as a representative of positivist approaches to scientific knowledge. Here, we see a continuation of Mach’s ideas applied to the same kinds of concerns about space and geometry with which Helmholtz engaged in the last excerpt. Mach explores the concept of our visual space, the space in which our perceptions are found and which is given its structure by our subject…
Remarks on Scientific Applications of Photography
It is undisputed that all scientific knowledge proceeds from sense perception. And the way in which sense perception is fostered by the graphic arts generally, and in particular by photography (stereoscopy included), likewise needs no further explanation here
On the Theory of the Sphygmograph
Many debates have already taken place on the reliability of the results obtained by means of sphygmographs. The following remarks may contribute to clarify some still unsettled points
Popular Scientific Lectures
The Austrian scientist Ernst Mach (1838-1916) carried out work of importance in many fields of enquiry, including physics, physiology, psychology and philosophy. Many significant thinkers, such as Ludwig Wittgenstein and Bertrand Russell, benefited from engaging with his ideas. Mach delivered the twelve lectures collected here between 1864 and 1894. This English translation by Thomas J. McCormack (1865-1932) appeared in 1895. Mach tackles a range…
