This was really an advance on general scientific method, destined to purify science from the last remnants of metaphysics.
Página 576 - ... up a declivity. If we go up the declivity of a hill we raise the weight of our own body. In the treadmill the same work is done, only the mill goes always down, and the man on the mill remains in his place.

Página 119 - Systemen solche mechanische Systeme, in deren Innerem eine oder mehrere stationäre, in sich zurücklaufende Bewegungen vorkommen, die aber, wenn es mehrere sind, in ihrer Geschwindigkeit nur von einem Parameter abhängen. Ich setze ferner voraus, dass zwischen den einzelnen Körpern, welche das System bilden, nur conservative Kräfte wirken, beziehlich feste Verbindungen bestehen, während die äusseren Kräfte, welche noch hinzukommen, nicht nothwendig conservativ zu sein brauchen.
