br. "A proposito del silenzio, sono un gran maestro in questo genere letterario". Isaak Babel' amava circondarsi di leggenda, ricordando di sé episodi e aneddoti di non mai accertata verità. Dopo i capolavori dell' Armata a cavallo e dei Racconti di Odessa, che ne hanno fatto tra i massimi prosatori russi e forse il più grande tra gli scrittori russi ebrei, visse nell'epoca di Stalin non senza alcuni privilegi, prima di tutto quello di poter viaggiare in Europa. Era amico e protetto di Gorki e quando questi morì nel 1936, pare scrivesse "ora verranno a cercarmi". Fu arrestato processato e fucilato nel 1940 dietro accuse ancora incerte e la sua morte fu conosciuta dalla seconda moglie (la prima viveva in Francia) solo nel 1953, un anno prima della riabilitazione completa "data l'inesistenza dei reati". Non scrisse molto e la sua scarsa alacrità, criticata entro l'associazionismo degli scrittori sovietici, era forse dovuta più all'impossibilità di restare "impuro e innocente" come nei suoi capolavori, che al dissenso attivo verso il Realismo socialista. Era tutto sommato "avvolto in un mantello di enigmatiche ambiguità", come disse la figlia Natalia. E sono queste enigmatiche ambiguità le profondità che questo libro intende scandagliare, afferrando la storia di Babel' da quei momenti e da quegli sprazzi simultaneamente veri nella sostanza e inaffidabili. Quindi non una biografia sistematica ma una rapsodia di voci e scene.

Neues Exemplar - Ob Goethe ganz zuletzt »Mehr Licht!« gesagt hat, werden wir nie erfahren. Fest steht, dass er es hätte sagen sollen: Der Spruch bringt Jahrzehnte seiner Forschung zu Farben, Licht und Finsternis auf den Punkt. Die Erhöhung der Helligkeit, auf die Goethe abzielte, führt zu ganz konkreten, exakt reproduzierbaren und überraschenden Experimenten. Gegen die verfehlte Goethe-Kritik zweier Jahrhunderte zeigt der Philosoph und Wissenschaftstheoretiker Olaf L. Müller anhand ausführlich illustrierter Experimente, wo Goethe gegen Newton gewonnen hat und welchen Gewinn wir daraus ziehen können. Goethe war nicht nur ein gewiefter Experimentator – er war auch ein begnadeter Wissenschaftsphilosoph. – Inhalt: Teil I. Newtons Spektrum: Farbe und Sonnenlicht – Einleitung: Frische Blicke auf den Streit zwischen Newton und Goethe – Ein beleuchtetes Prisma in der Dunkelkammer: Newton entdeckt die Heterogenität des Sonnenlichts – Newtons subjektive Experimente - und zwei genauere Blicke auf Newtons Theorie – Newtons experimentum crucis – Farblose Schlüsse aus dem Experiment – Teil II. Goethes Theorem: Die verlorene Unschuld der Finsternis – Goethe protestiert – Zwei Vollspektren: Goethe vertauscht die Rollen von Licht » und Finsternis – Theoretische Einwände gegen die Heterogenität der Finsternis – Experimentelle Einwände gegen die Heterogenität der Finsternis? – Unorthodoxe Blicke auf Newtons experimentum crucis – Anhang: Goethes Theorem und dessen Beweis – Teil III. Die Macht des Zufalls: Newton triumphiert bei Farbe, Licht und Finsternis – Goethes Pech ist Newtons Glück – Unterstützung für Goethe aus der Physik seiner Zeit – Physikalische Verrisse der Farbenlehre – Was ist Finsternis aus Sicht der modernen Wissenschaft? – Gibt es Finsternisquellen? – Anhang: Nussbaumers Entdeckung der unordentlichen Spektren – Teil IV. Philosophische Diagnose: Unterbestimmtheit – experimentum crucis oder Unterbestimmtheit? - Durch welche und wie viele Daten wären Theorien unterbestimmt? – Über die Größe von Theorien – Sparsamkeit, Einfachheit, Schönheit – Anschlussfähigkeit und andere extrinsische Tugenden – Was wäre, wenn? Kontrafaktische Physik-Geschichte – Wahl der Weltanschauung – Unversöhnlicher Ausblick – Erklärung einiger Zeichen und Symbole – Wissenschaftshistorischer Anhang – Positive fachwissenschaftliche Reaktionen auf die Physik in Goethes Farbenlehre (1810-1832) – Ambivalente fachwissenschaftliche Reaktionen auf die Physik in Goethes Farbenlehre (1810–1832) – Eindeutig negative fachwissenschaftliche Reaktionen auf die Physik in Goethes Farbenlehre (1810–1832).
