Features: This book discusses the force of objects, research on the Leibniz school's doctrine of vis viva, what makes a new measurement of vis viva become the true scale of nature, research on the Earth's rotation around its axis, and whether the Earth has aged. Kant's works are known for their obscure language, which not only stems from the complexity of his philosophical thoughts but also from the gap between the German language of Kant's time and modern German. Moreover, Kant lived in K?nigsberg in East Prussia, which was relatively a culturally underdeveloped area. Kant's German, both in grammar and syntax, clearly bears the traces of the Prussian dialect. This book discusses the force of objects, research on the Leibniz school's doctrine of vis viva, what makes a new measurement of vis viva become the true scale of nature, research on the Earth's rotation around its axis, and whether the Earth has aged.
