Summary

Ernst Mach is, in my view, one of the greatest of a very significant and original group of thinkers: the philosophising scientists of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Although Mach did not think of himself as a philosopher, it is the more philosophical parts of his published works that continue to attract the most attention. Mach’s ideas, their reception, and the trajectory of Mach scholarship since the late nineteenth century unfolded as follows.
