Jimena canales introduces readers to the revolutionary ideas of einstein and bergson, describes how they dramatically collided in paris, and traces how this clash of worldviews reverberated across the twentieth centurythe physicist and the philosopher is a magisterial and revealing account that shows how scientific truth was placed on trial in a divided century marked by a new sense of timeshe also discusses how bergson and einstein, toward the end of their lives, each reflected on his rival's legacy-bergson during the nazi occupation of paris and einstein in the context of the first hydrogen bomb explosionshe shows how it provoked responses from figures such as bertrand russell and martin heidegger, and carried repercussions for american pragmatism, logical positivism, phenomenology, and quantum mechanicsbergson, who gained fame as a philosopher by arguing that time should not be understood exclusively through the lens of science, criticized einstein's theory of time for being a metaphysics grafted on to science, one that ignored the intuitive aspects of timeon april , in paris, albert einstein and henri bergson publicly debated the nature of timeeinstein considered bergson's theory of time to be a soft, psychological notion, irreconcilable with the quantitative realities of physicsoxfam shop kendal paperback as newsee oxfam website for delivery information read morethe physicist and the philosopher tells the remarkable story of how this explosive debate transformed our understanding of time and drove a rift between science and the humanities that persists todaycanales explains how the new technologies of the period-such as wristwatches, radio, and film-helped to shape people's conceptions of time and further polarized the public debate

The primary concern of this book is with the english theory of poetry, and to a lesser extent of the other major arts, during the first four decades of the nineteenth centuryjohnston, but there was also a discernible continuity in premises, aims and methodsthere were many important differences between, let us say, horace's art of poetry and the criticism of drthis continuity was broken by the theories or romantic writers, english and german; and their innovations include many of the points of view and procedures which make the characteristic differences between traditional criticism and the criticism of our own time, including some criticism which professes to be anti-romanticsee oxfam website for delivery information read moreoxfam bookshop byres road the development of literary theory in the lifetime of coleridge was to a surprising extent the making of the modern critical mindit stresses the common orientation which justifies us in identifying a specifically 'romantic' criticism; but not, i trust, at the cost of overlooking the many important diversities among the writers who concern themselves with the nature of poetry or art, its psychological genesis, its constitution and kinds, its major criteria, and its relation to other original and enduring critics of the time, rather than with the run-of-the-mill reviewers who often had more immediate, though shorter-lived influence on the general reading public
