Conservation, Correlation, and Origin of the Physical, Vital, and Mental Forces explains how energy and forces move, transform, and relate across physical and living systems.

This volume surveys foundational experiments and ideas that shaped our understanding of force, heat, electricity, and mind in a single, integrative view.

The text presents a historical arc from early questions about force to the modern idea that energy cannot be created or destroyed. It highlights key experiments that linked heat to mechanical work and shows how different forms of force can convert into one another. The result is a broad look at how science views matter, energy, and life.
What you’ll experience

• Clear explanations of core ideas like conservation of energy and correlation of forces
• Context on pivotal experiments and the scientists who shaped the field
• Discussion of how physical, vital, and mental forces are connected
• Questions that guided early debates about the nature of matter and energy

Ideal for readers of science history, philosophy of science, and readers curious about how force and energy underpin both the physical world and life itself.
