Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Substance and Function and Einstein's Theory of Relativity' is a landmark contribution to the philosophy of science and epistemology by the renowned Neo-Kantian philosopher Ernst Cassirer. In the first part of this profound inquiry, Cassirer traces the historical development of logical concepts, contrasting the traditional Aristotelian concept of substance-which relies on abstraction and classification-with the modern mathematical concept of function. He argues that scientific progress is marked by a shift away from seeking the absolute essence of things toward understanding the relational and functional structures of the universe.
