Clean and fine. � First printing of Foucault's famous experiments on the velocity of light with the description of his improved equipment the rotating mirror. Foucault's method was later developed by Michelson and Morley in their famous experiment in 1887.<br><br>"Foucault�s first experiment carried out in 1850 and written up in full in his doctoral thesis of 1853 was purely comparative; he announced no numerical values until 1862. Then with an improved apparatus he was able to measure precisely the velocity of light in air. This result significantly smaller than Fizeau�s of 1849 changed the accepted value of solar parallax and vindicated the higher value which Le Verrier had calculated from astronomical data. Foucault�s turning-mirror apparatus was the basis for the later determinations of the velocity of light by A. A. Michelson and Simon Newcomb."DSB.<br><br>Leon Foucault used a similar method to Fizeau. He shone a light to a rotating mirror then it bounced back to a remote fixed mirror and then back to the first rotating mirror. But because the first mirror was rotating the light from the rotating mirror finally bounced back at an angle slightly different from the angle it initially hit the mirror with. By measuring this angle it was possible to measure the speed of the light. Foucault continually increased the accuracy of this method over the years. His final measurement in 1862 determined that light traveled at 299796 Km/s. <br><br>Magee "A Source Book in Physics" p. 342 ff. and "Source Book in Astronomy" p. 282 ff. unknown
M�xico D.F.: Siglo XXI Editores 2016. 1st Edition. Soft cover. New/No Jacket. �De d�nde viene ese impulso que nos lleva a buscar la verdad dentro de nosotros mismos a conocernos y verbalizar ese conocimiento ante otros Esta pr�ctica de desciframiento de buscar en los propios pensamientos y sentimientos para someterlos a una interpretaci�n ilimitada que Foucault llama �hermen�utica de s� es el eje de las dos conferencias y de las dos intervenciones reunidas en este libro que tuvieron lugar en los Estados Unidos en 1980 y han sido recientemente publicadas en Francia. Ellas marcan un momento decisivo en el intento de trazar una genealog�a del sujeto. Foucault muestra c�mo se construy� hist�ricamente el tan mentado sujeto y c�mo no basta con tener en cuenta las t�cnicas de dominaci�n o coerci�n en hospitales asilos prisiones sino que es necesario incorporar las �t�cnicas de s� los modos en que el sujeto act�a sobre s� mismo sobre su propio cuerpo su �alma� y sus conductas. En exposiciones orales que exponen una argumentaci�n tan l�mpida y fluida rastrea en los textos de la Antig�edad grecorromana y del cristianismo primitivo las t�cnicas que ligan al sujeto a su verdad. Describe c�mo funciona el examen de s� la direcci�n de conciencia y la confesi�n. Y advierte una oposici�n una disconformidad radical entra la tradici�n socr�tica del �con�cete a ti mismo� que no buscaba extraer una verdad oculta en el fondo del sujeto sino ayudarlo a reconocer c�mo podr�a actuar mejor y el precepto cristiano �confiesa a tu gu�a espiritual cada uno de tus pensamientos� que insta a escrutar los secretos m�s hondos y a una obediencia y automortificaci�n constantes por las faltas cometidas. Es aqu� en esta discontinuidad marcada por la confesi�n cristiana donde Foucault sit�a el origen de esa hermen�utica de s� que atraviesa luego las instituciones judiciales m�dicas psicoanal�ticas y psiqui�tricas y que se nos propone incluso hoy. Estas conferencias no s�lo sirven como una v�a de acceso a los �ltimos cursos y libros de Foucault sino como una pieza fundamental en su proyecto �tico-pol�tico de desandar una hermen�utica de s� que puede cerrar el paso a la posibilidad de vivir de otra manera de ir m�s all� de los l�mites que parece imponernos nuestra herencia hist�rica.
