| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of my research is to resolve the division between humanities and natural sciences commonly accepted in the traditional history of energy concept. First, from the latter half of the seventeenth century to the eighteenth century, by pointing out differences in the process of introducing the word “energy” into natural sciences in England and France, I successfully combined the differences with arguments made at the time about the active principle of nature's inherent power. Secondly, comparing the usage of the word “energy” found in the vital principle theory affirmed by the medical school of Montpellier, which prospered in France in the latter half of the eighteenth century to the early nineteenth century, and that widely used in political speeches of contemporary revolutionaries, my research clarified that both usages show radical power, which cannot be explained by rationality, and thus have some sort of parallel.
