Descartes on Forms and Mechanisms

Cambridge University Press, 2009

The modern view of causation can be traced back to the mechanistic science of Descartes, whose rejection of Aristotelian physics, with its concept of substantial forms, in favor of mechanical explanations was a turning-point in the history of philosophy. However the reasoning which led Descartes and other early moderns in this direction is not well...

Micromechanical Photonics (Microtechnology and MEMS)

Springer, 2006

The recent remarkable development of microsystems dates back to 1983 when Richard P. Feynman of California University delivered a speech to a large audience of scientists and engineers at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. He presented the concept of sacrificed etchingto fabricate a silicon micromotor, and pointed out the need for...
