- W2528440813 abstract "who saw themselves as 'chemists', 'physicists', 'physiologists', or 'mathematicians'. Despite this trend, which has continued with increasing strength until the present day, there were a number of scientific investigators who continue to move with a certain freedom from field to field, and who made significant contributions to many of them. The phenomenon of the late nineteenth-century scientific universalist poses a number of historio-philosophic questions. How can his concerns be understood within the context of a specialised discipline? In what ways do his wider concerns affect the choice of problems and content of his work in each distinct field? Concentrating on one particular case of a late nineteenthcentury universalist, perhaps the answers to these and similar questions can be clarified. Because of his extraordinarily far-ranging interests, Hermann von Helmholtz has frequently been cited as an example of a universalist who made a number of significant contributions in several specialised areas. Trained as a physician, he wrote several works devoted to an analysis of the physiology of the senses. His three volume work, Handbuch der physiologischen Optik (1856-1866), has gone through many editions and is regarded as pivotal in the field. In 1863, he published Die Lehre von dem Tonempfindungen, which is equally important to physiological acoustics. In mathematical physics, his paper Uber die Erhaltung der Kraft (1847) has earned him a substantial position in the history of physics, as a pioneer in the area of thermodynamics. But Helmholtz did not confine his work to physiology and physics, nor even to the natural sciences. He also explored issues in aesthetics, philosophy, and mathematics. By exploring these works and the nature of Helmholtz's contributions to these secondary fields of interest, light can be shed on the nature of the interactions among his seemingly dissimilar investigations." @default.
