This book is a transcription of a series of lectures and discussions given by Professor Richard McKeon at the University of Chicago in 1963. It provides an introduction to the intellectual issues at the heart of the natural sciences, with special attention given to physics. McKeon’s legendary schematism of philosophic semantics appears in full application here for the first time in print by means of the treatment of four topics—motion, space, time, and cause—over the entire course of western science. This exhaustive coverage is structured around discussion of principles, methods, interpretations, and selections as treated by different philosophers and physicists over time. The discussions focus on analyses of works by Plato, Aristotle, Galileo, Newton, and Maxwell.
