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).

In 8, pp. (12) + 123 + (1b) con diagrammi n.t. Legatura in cart. di fine XVIII sec. Rarissima ediz. orig. di questo importante trattato sul moto dei mari e dei venti dell'erudito ugonotto olandese Isaac Voss (Leida, 1618-Londra, 1689). A seguito della crescente importanza dei commerci marittimi e delle esplorazioni via mare, cominciarono ad essere studiate le cause delle maree. Voss respinge l'influenza della luna e delle stelle, sostenendo che e' il calore del sole a generare venti, maree e correnti oceaniche. Attribuisce infatti al riscaldamento solare l'aumento del livello del mare nella regione equatoriale con la conseguente formazione di maree e correnti. In maniera corretta sostiene che la circolazione del Nord Atlantico sia in senso orario. Il testo include riferimenti a vari luoghi del Nord e Sud America, fra i quali California, Florida, Virginia. Vossel, nel 1649, si trasferi' a Stoccolma, dove divenne bibliotecario ed insegnante di greco di Cristina di Svezia. Poi ando' in Inghilterra dove rimase fino alla morte. Qui fu canonico dei Windsor. Appassionato collezionista di libri ed egli stesso autore di opere di svariato genere (letteratura classica, geografia, cronologia biblica), lascio' alla morte una fra le piu' grandi biblioteche private del mondo.
