Description “The emergence of energetics was largely, if not entirely, a German phenomenon. Its main proponents were Georg Helm, a Dresden mathematician and physicist, and Wilhelm Ostwald, the professor of physical chemistry at Leipzig. Both thought that the world view of modern science was moving toward a comprehensive theory of energy. But, as previously noted, they disagreed about the general form that theory would take: Helm believed that it would be a phenomenalist theory, while Ostwald was convinced that it would be realist in character. Each thought, nevertheless, that the thermodynamic writings of Gibbs supported his position.”
