Bøger af Georg Christoph Lichtenberg

‘100 Quotes’ by Georg Christoph Lichtenberg is an inspiriting collection of quotes from the German physicist and satirist.Lichtenberg was the first person in Germany to hold a professorship in experimental physics, and he was one of the originators of introducing experiments with equipment in lectures. Although he was most remembered for his research on electricity, Lichtenberg also became known for his cutting wit as a satirist, which often got him mixed up in many disputes. Georg Christoph Lichtenberg (1743-1799) was a German physicist, satirist, and Anglophile. As a physicist, Lichtenberg was the first person to hold a professorship explicitly dedicated to experimental physics in Germany. Lichtenberg is probably best known for the notebooks, called sudelbücher, that were posthumously published. These notebooks were seen as ‘waste books’ or ‘scrap books’ but they showcased his discovery of tree-like electrical discharge patterns, now called Lichtenberg figures.

‘600 Quotations from the Great 18th Century Writers’ is a collection of inspiring thoughts and reflections from six of the greatest literary minds of all time.

The most important contemporary appreciation of Hogarth, by one of the leading figures of the German enlightenment, Georg Christoph Lichtenberg ('simply Hogarth's best interpreter' according to Ronald Paulson). copiously illustrated with details from Hogarths' Marriage a la Mode series of engravings. Introduction and full notes.

Georg Christoph Lichtenberg (1742-1799) war ein Mathematiker und der erste deutsche Professor für Experimentalphysik. Lichtenberg gilt als Begründer des deutschsprachigen Aphorismus. Über viele Jahre hat Lichtenberg ab 1764 in Schreibheften, von ihm selbstironisch "Sudelbücher" genannt, in aphoristischer Form unzählige Gedankensplitter (spontane Einfälle, Lesefrüchte, Reflexionen zu fast allen Wissensgebieten und naturwissenschaftliche Feststellungen) notiert, die postum veröffentlicht wurden. Sie belegen seine Aufgeschlossenheit für alles Neue, die enzyklopädische Weite seines Geistes und in besonderer Weise seine Fähigkeit zur skeptischen Beobachtung und ironischen Formulierung. Aus dem Buch: "Der große Kunstgriff, kleine Abweichungen von der Wahrheit für die Wahrheit selbst zu halten, worauf die ganze Differential-Rechnung gebaut ist, ist auch zugleich der Grund unsrer witzigen Gedanken, wo oft das Ganze hinfallen würde, wenn wir die Abweichungen in einer philosophischen Strenge nehmen würden. Es ist eine Frage ob in den Wissenschaften und Künsten ein Bestes möglich sei, über welches unser Verstand nicht gehen kann. Vielleicht ist dieser Punkt unendlich weit entfernt, ohnerachtet bei jeder Näherung wir weniger vor uns haben."
