Abstract
IN a former work, recently noticed in these columns, M. Rey analysed contemporary physical theories with the object of showing that, in spite of profound differences of procedure, they all bear witness to a common basis of assured experiential fact. In the present book he considers the two rival points of view under which modern theories are ranged—those of the Newtonian mechanics and of the newer energetics—with the more practical purpose of determining whether either of them possesses intrinsic superiority over the other.
