| Summary | "Natural Philosophy" by Wilhelm Ostwald is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This work explores the connection between the various branches of natural science, emphasizing the need for a unified understanding of the principles governing the physical and biological worlds. Ostwald aims to delve into the intricate relationships among different scientific disciplines, promoting a method that draws from empirical evidence and experience. The beginning of "Natural Philosophy" presents a preface outlining the rising interest in philosophy at the turn of the century, framed as a response to the increasing specialization in the sciences. Ostwald defines natural philosophy as the complementary pursuit that integrates these specialized fields into a comprehensive worldview. He argues that true understanding comes from recognizing how these branches interrelate, emphasizing the scientific method as a tool for grasping the complexities of the natural world. This opening lays the groundwork for a detailed examination of knowledge formation, scientific inquiry, and the interconnectedness of various scientific concepts, setting the stage for a thorough exploration of both logic and the physical sciences.
