概要	This book combines analysis of the scientific work of German physician and physicist Hermann von Helmholtz (1821-1894) with exploration of its neo-Kantian philosophical background in order to proffer ... new interpretation of Helmholtz's work in geometry. The author's central argument is that Helmholtz's later critique of Kant's views of geometry were conducted within an epistemological theory with a strong transcendental element. "For instance," he notes, "even the last paper on geometry appeals to regulative constraints on the concepts that we can admit in natural science, for the latter must always be chosen so as to permit maximally general statements of physical laws." This transcendental element, he further argues, was an attempt to resolve the tension between Newton's theory of space and the onset of modern electrodynamics and therefore the subsequent applications made of Helmholtz's geometry by Poincare and Einstein are revealed as being motivated by the same research program.
