赫尔曼·冯·亥姆霍兹(Hermann von Helmholtz,1821-1894)是一位博学多才的学者,他的知识渊博,精力充沛。亥姆霍兹因共同发现热力学第二定律和发明检眼镜而闻名,他还对生理学、物理理论、科学和数学哲学以及美学思想做出了许多其他贡献。在世纪后期,亥姆霍兹被尊为科学圣人--就像这个世纪的爱因斯坦一样。大卫卡汉已经聚集了一个杰出的欧洲和北美科学和哲学历史学家的这一知识分子传记亥姆霍兹,有史以来第一次批判性地评估他的出版和未出版的著作。它代表了一个重大的贡献,不仅亥姆霍兹奖学金,而且对19世纪的科学和哲学史的一般。
Hermann von Helmholtz (1821-1894) was a polymath of dazzling intellectual range and energy. Renowned for his co-discovery of the second law of thermodynamics and his invention of the ophthalmoscope, Helmholtz also made many other contributions to physiology, physical theory, philosophy of science and mathematics, and aesthetic thought. During the late nineteenth century, Helmholtz was revered as a scientist-sage - much like Albert Einstein in this century. David Cahan has assembled an outstanding group of European and North American historians of science and philosophy for this intellectual biography of Helmholtz, the first ever to critically assess both his published and unpublished writings. It represents a significant contribution not only to Helmholtz scholarship but also to the history of nineteenth-century science and philosophy in general.
