The Philosophy of Physics, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Philosophy of Physics, Vol. 1Being somewhat critically observant of the phenomenal facts of physa ical nature, in their general and wide-spread relations, and of mankind's method of philosophizing on their cause, and not being over-credulous in taking for granted even what the greatest sages may have said on this subject without being first satisfied with the soundness of the principles on which they based their belief, we were soon led to question the legitimacy of the relation thus attempted to be established between these phenomenal facts themselves and the laws or rules usually as signed and assumed as governing their action, between which there were found too little parallelism to induce the unquestioned adoption of even any of the theoretical views promulgated by physicists.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
