- Energeticism
Energeticism is the
ontology , orphilosophy ofbeing , which holds that all things are ultimately composed ofenergy . It is opposed to ontologicalmaterialism andidealism . Energeticism is typically associated with the physicist and philosopherErnst Mach . It is a theory that is largely rejected now, due to its Aristotelian metaphysical leanings, and due to its rejection of the existence of a micro-world (such as the one that chemists or physicists have discovered).According to
David Skrbina , energeticism is the ontological view held byphysicist sAlbert Einstein andWerner Heisenberg , and by philosophersBertrand Russell andKarl Popper .
