In addition to becoming the fundamental framework of electromagnetism, Maxwell's theory of electrodynamics has long been a source of inspiration for physicists. Here it is claimed that the key to Maxwell's success in this domain is his creative adaptation of a new methodology, including his appeal to the concept of energy.
