Evolution of the concepts of atom and atomism, and the impact of
electromagnetism on our worldview, is the object of our study in this
book. Electromagnetism is the key link in the transition from
classical to post-classical worldview. This transition is caused by
the one from our thought based upon the tangibles to that based upon
the intangibles. Electromagnetism inaugrated an era of light speeds
and near it, and of the world constituted by such speeds. Philosophy
and the worldview need to catch up and undergo a basic change. Atom as
a concept and reality is under severe stress as explanation of
reality. Reality has come out of atomic limits and unveiled a new
world, which is constituted of quantum, relativity, wave/particle
duality, etc. It is a challenge to philosophy, which re-fashioning to
interpret the post-classical world based on rapid motions. We need to
develop new concepts and bring about a realignment in various thought
constituents. Rather thatn 'overthrow' matter, we are delving deeper
into it. Philosophy and human thought itself stands on the brink of
redefinition. In the present book the author shows how
electromagnetism connects classical with post-classical thought,
creating new structures, and impacting materialism and dialectics.
