The Necessity of Friction: Nineteen Essays on Vital Force


Overview

Friction is what keeps us from realizing our goals. It comprises our plans, sometimes making them unrecognizable. It defies our wish for perfection and constantly surprizes us with new elements of resistance. However, friction is also that which gets us moving, a necessary incentive to achieve progress. In this volume, 20 scholars tackle this topical and important concept. A number of scientific fields are engaged: physics, philosophy, economics, architecture, organizational theory, artificial intelligence, and others. Together, these contributions form a modern-day attempt to analyze the intriguing yet elusive subject of friction.
