About The Book
In this highly regarded work, Max Jammer explores the concept of space, examining its development throughout history, especially in the context of physics and philosophy. The book delves into the cultural and intellectual shifts that shaped the understanding of space, from antiquity to modern times. Starting with the concept of space in ancient philosophy, Jammer traces its evolution through Judaeo-Christian thought, the liberation of space from Aristotelian ideas, and Newton's absolute space, culminating in modern understandings. The third edition includes a new chapter that revisits the philosophical changes regarding space since the second edition's publication.
The book is rich in original sources and bibliographic references, offering a thorough examination of this essential concept in science and philosophy. It is a valuable resource for philosophers, physicists, mathematicians, and general readers interested in the historical development of the idea of space.
