The Nobel Prize winner Karl Ferdinand Braun has not left any considerable writings on the philosophy of science. Nevertheless, his philosophical excursions help us to understand his creative work in physics and the philosophical positions of his disciples. Braun emphasized the fundamental position of the so-called integral laws to which the law of conservation of energy belongs. He was a consecutive empiricist and emphasized the relativity of physical schemes and models with respect to experimental devices. In the style of some German physicists he proclaimed the oscillatory unification of the theory of electricity and optics. Keywords: energetism, engineering, Kantianism, Machism, Naturphilosophie, radio-physics, the theory of oscillations
