Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the history of ideas regarding the union of matter and force, from the earliest beliefs in material spirits to the modern understanding of the inseparability of matter and energy. The author traces the development of our ideas in chronological order, first through the biological sciences, and then through the abiological sciences, to illustrate how these ideas have changed over time. The book discusses the philosophical implications of these ideas, such as the concept of materialism and the question of whether matter can exist without force. Ultimately, the book argues that our ideas of matter and force are in a state of constant evolution, and that as we learn more about the universe, our understanding of these fundamental concepts will continue to change.
