Description

Explore the pioneering work of Hans Christian Orsted, the Danish scientist and philosopher who fundamentally changed physics through his 1820 discovery of electromagnetism. This volume examines the paradox at the heart of Orsted's legacy: how a figure rooted in Romantic philosophy became one of the architects of modern experimental science. Part of the Boston Studies in the Philosophy and History of Science series, this book traces Orsted's contributions across multiple scientific disciplines and his influence on later giants including Maxwell and Einstein. Discover how his vision of unifying natural forces shaped subsequent scientific inquiry and continues to inspire researchers worldwide seeking to complete the grand programme of physics.

Key Features

Detailed examination of Orsted's groundbreaking 1820 discovery of the interaction between electricity and magnetism.

Analysis of how Romantic philosophy influenced Orsted's approach to experimental science and natural philosophy.

Exploration of Orsted's work across multiple scientific fields beyond electromagnetism.

Examination of Orsted's lasting impact on Maxwell, Einstein, and modern unification theories in physics.

Part of the prestigious Boston Studies in the Philosophy and History of Science series (volume 241).

Comprehensive treatment of Orsted's role as founder of modern physics through both theoretical and experimental contributions.
