Synopsis
Croonian Lectures On Matter And Force by Henry Bence Jones. This work comprises a republication of three lectures delivered at the Royal College of Physicians in 1868, examining the historical development of the ideas of matter and force and their unbreakable connection in natural science. Jones identifies three stages: (1) the primitive, absolute separation of matter and force (materialism and spiritualism); (2) the Hunterian or transition stage in which force is linked with imponderable matter; and (3) the modern stage of complete inseparability, where matter and force are mutually dependent and governed by the conservation of energy. He surveys contributions from Newton, Descartes, and the development of theories of light, heat, electricity, and magnetism, and then applies these conceptions to biology and physiology, arguing that life-related processes must be understood as transformations of energy rather than as mysterious forces. The book includes appendices on the transmission of volition and sensation through nerves, muscular power, and the rate of passage of crystalloids through body textures, thereby uniting physics with physiology.
