The loss of world in the image
origin and development of the concept of image in the thought of Hermann von Helmholtz and Heinrich Hertz
Gregor Schiemann
pp. 25-38
In searching for the origins of current conceptions of science in the history of physics, one encounters a remarkable phenomenon. A typical view today is that theoretical knowledge-claims have only relativized validity. Historically, however, this thesis was supported by proponents of a conception of nature that today is far from typical, a mechanistic conception within which natural phenomena were to be explained by the action of mechanically moved matter.
