Albert László "Feltalálók, felfedezők, nagy emberek" by Wilhelm Ostwald is a scientific and intellectual account written in the early 20th century. The book examines the lives and personal development of prominent inventors, discoverers, and scientists, seeking to uncover general patterns and principles behind their greatness. Ostwald focuses on how talent is recognized and cultivated, the role of education, societal impact, and the conditions that favor or suppress exceptional achievement. Central themes include the relationship between individual genius and societal progress, and the energetic and economic principles underlying cultural development. The opening of the work establishes its central framework, with an anecdote about how to recognize future great individuals, leading into Ostwald's investigation into the "natural history" and commonalities among eminent inventors and scientists. The narrative then discusses Ostwald’s own life as an example, connecting personal traits—such as restless curiosity, academic struggles, and early vocational interests—to broader theories about genius. The text introduces key concepts such as energy, cultural advancement, and the difference between invention and discovery, explaining them through practical and economic analogies. Early chapters also critique traditional education for stifling talent and argue for a more scientific, empirical approach to understanding and fostering exceptional individuals. Finally, this section segues into a biographical study of Mayer, whose childhood and educational challenges are explored as a first case of the recurring patterns Ostwald identifies in the lives of great innovators.
