Abstract

The general concept of energy is somewhat unclear as long as it is confined to physics, since every chapter of it defines its own particular concept of energy. The general concept can be elucidated in terms of the hypergeneral (philosophical) concepts of concrete thing and changeability. In this way one
succeeds in crafting a minitheory that identifies energy with mutability, and that regards it, as well as its conservation, as the universal property of concrete things. The moral is that physicists and philosophers can learn from one another.
