The Law of Causality and its Limits was the principal philosophical work of the physicist turned philosopher, Philipp Frank. Born in Vienna on March 20, 1884, Frank died in Cambridge, Massachusetts on July 21, 1966. He received his doctorate in 1907 at the University of Vienna in theoretical physics, having studied under Ludwig Boltzmann; his sub sequent research in physics and mathematics was represented by more than 60 scientific papers. Moreover his great success as teacher and expositor was recognized throughout the scientific world with publication of his collaborative Die Differentialgleichungen der Mechanik und Physik, with Richard von Mises, in 1925-27. Frank was responsible for the second volume, on physics, and especially noted for his authoritative article on classical Hamiltonian mechanics and optics. Among his earliest papers were those, beginning in 1908, devoted to special relativity, which together with general relativity and physical cosmology occupied him throughout his life. Already in 1907, Frank published his seminal paper 'Kausalgesetz und Erfahrung' ('Experience and the Law of Causality'), much later collected with a splendid selection of his essays on philosophy of science, in English (1941c and 1949g, in our Bibliography). Joining the first 'Vienna Circle' in the first decade of the 20th century, with Hans Hahn, mathematician, and Otto Neurath, sociologist and economist, and deeply influenced by studies of Ernst Mach's critical conceptual histories of science and by the striking challenge of Poincare and Duhem, Frank continued his epistemological investigations.

Due to the unanticipated arrival of peak energy production, retrenchment and scarcity will be the themes of international discourse. This work probes the philosophical assumptions behind the world's planning lapse and how the sudden confrontation will affect our political and economic institutions.

This is the fourth volume of "The Collected Mathematical Papers of James Joseph Sylvester," documenting the prolific output of the renowned 19th-century mathematician. James Joseph Sylvester (1814-1897) made significant contributions to algebra, number theory, geometry, and invariant theory. This collection, meticulously compiled and edited, offers a comprehensive view of his work, showcasing his innovative approaches and profound insights. Edited by H. F. Baker, this volume makes Sylvester's groundbreaking research accessible to modern mathematicians, historians of science, and anyone with an interest in the development of mathematical thought. Sylvester's papers are valuable not only for their mathematical content but also for their historical context, providing a glimpse into the mathematical landscape of the 19th century. This collection is an essential resource for understanding the evolution of modern mathematics and the enduring legacy of one of its most influential figures.
