Like many of his contemporaries, the mathematician and Anglican minister John Wallis (1616–1703) repeatedly made disparaging remarks about Roman Catholics, particularly the pope and the Jesuits. This paper considers how Wallis's anti-Catholic attitude affected his reception of ideas about nature and mathematics. A well-known example is his resistance to the adoption of the Gregorian calendar in England, which he claimed would be an implicit acknowledgement of the pope's authority. This was not an isolated case in Wallis's career. For instance, the same attitude is evident in his earliest publication, Truth Tried (1643), wherein he adopts a position on the metaphysics of time and place that explicitly opposes the doctrine of transubstantiation. In addition, anti-Catholicism made Wallis more receptive to subjects that otherwise did not interest him, namely numerology and biblical prophecy. This helps to explain his decision to publish a Latin translation of Francis Potter's Interpretation of the Number 666 (1642), which Wallis seems to have appreciated mainly because of its argument that the pope is the Antichrist. These cases offer insights about Wallis's motivations as a natural philosopher and mathematician, and how they relate to anti-Catholicism in early modern English science more generally.
与许多同时代的人一样,数学家兼圣公会牧师约翰·瓦利斯(1616-1703)多次对罗马天主教徒,特别是教皇和耶稣会士发表贬损言论。本文探讨了瓦利斯的反天主教态度对他接受自然和数学思想的影响。一个著名的例子是他反对英国采用公历,他声称这是对教皇权威的含蓄承认。在瓦利斯的职业生涯中,这并不是一个孤立的案例。例如,同样的态度在他最早的出版物《真理审判》(1643)中表现得很明显,在该书中,他对时间和地点的形而上学采取了明确反对变质学说的立场。此外,反天主教使瓦利斯更容易接受他不感兴趣的学科,即命理学和圣经预言。这有助于解释他决定出版弗朗西斯·波特(Francis Potter)的《数字666的解释》(1642年)的拉丁译本,瓦利斯似乎很欣赏这本书,主要是因为它认为教皇是反基督者。这些案例提供了关于瓦利斯作为一名自然哲学家和数学家的动机的见解,以及它们如何与早期现代英国科学中的反天主教联系起来。

Natural history values and meanings in nineteenth-century Chile 十九世纪智利的自然历史价值与意义

In nineteenth-century Chile, naturalists and their supporters argued that scientific work and study, including natural history, were good for individuals and society because they developed and tempered the character of their practitioners. These practitioners and boosters, Chileans, European visitors and European immigrants, made this argument in a context in which Chilean state support for natural history institutions, publications and education helped disseminate scientific training, perspectives and practices. Examining this nineteenth-century discourse of beneficial science is important for three reasons: first, the discourse of value-laden sciences offered this field a powerful justification for its development, especially in the face of criticism; second, because naturalists believed in this discourse, it helps explain what their work meant to them, and, finally, these values highlight the disjuncture between discourses about natural history and its links to military conquests, as well as the ways in which natural history was an exclusionary practice.
在19世纪的智利,博物学家和他们的支持者认为,科学工作和研究,包括自然历史,对个人和社会都有好处,因为它们发展和锻炼了从业者的性格。这些实践者和推动者,智利人、欧洲游客和欧洲移民,在智利国家对自然历史机构、出版物和教育的支持有助于传播科学培训、观点和实践的背景下提出了这一论点。考察19世纪有益科学的论述之所以重要,有三个原因:首先,承载价值的科学的论述为这一领域的发展提供了有力的理由,尤其是在面对批评的时候;其次,因为博物学家相信这种论述,这有助于解释他们的工作对他们的意义,最后,这些价值观强调了博物学与军事征服之间的脱节,以及博物学是一种排他性实践的方式。

On The Origin of Species: The story of Darwin's title 论物种的起源:达尔文书名的故事

The genesis of Charles Darwin's book On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life (1859) is well known, and the changes that it underwent in subsequent editions are well documented. However, less is known or has been published about the genesis of its original title and about the seven modifications that it subsequently underwent. That original title was much longer than the title of the unfinished big ‘Species Book’ that preceded and inspired The Origin: Natural Selection. Why did Darwin use an extended version of this elegant, short title for The Origin? And what was the rationale behind the later modifications? Contrary to what is often claimed or implied, the criticism of his publisher, John Murray, does not offer the only and certainly not the full answer to the latter question.
查尔斯·达尔文(Charles Darwin)的《自然选择的物种起源,或在生命斗争中保护最喜爱的种族》(1859)一书的起源是众所周知的,它在随后的版本中所经历的变化也有很好的记录。然而,关于其原始标题的起源以及随后经历的七次修改,人们所知或发表的信息较少。最初的标题比《起源:自然选择》之前未完成的大型《物种书》的标题长得多。为什么达尔文在《起源》中使用了这个优雅而简短的标题的扩展版本?后来修改的理由是什么?与人们经常声称或暗示的相反,对他的出版商约翰·默里的批评并不是后一个问题的唯一答案,当然也不是全部答案。

Experimentation in the agricultural EnlightenmentPlace, profit and norms of knowledge-making in eighteenth-century Germany 农业启蒙的实验——18世纪德国知识创造的场所、利润与规范

Most research into history of eighteenth-century experimentation has focused on the instrument-based traditions of natural philosophers and chemists. This article explores an alternate, but related, tradition: the experiments carried out by agricultural improvers. While authors interested in improving farming were aware of natural philosophical practices, they self-consciously devised different strategies in their own forms of experimentation. Experiments in the chemical and physical sciences generally sought to find universal laws operative everywhere; agricultural experimentation often explored the particular possibilities of a given place. The cost and likely economic success of an experiment was also worked explicitly into its design.
大多数对18世纪实验史的研究都集中在自然哲学家和化学家以仪器为基础的传统上。本文探讨了另一种相关的传统:农业改良者进行的实验。虽然对改善农业感兴趣的作者意识到自然哲学实践,但他们自觉地以自己的实验形式设计了不同的策略。化学和物理科学的实验一般都是为了找到适用于任何地方的普遍规律;农业试验经常探索特定地区的特定可能性。实验的成本和可能取得的经济成功也被明确地纳入了设计之中。

Many eighteenth-century projectors believed in the potential of pedagogy, including its ability to improve lives and to radically reconfigure the structure of society. Despite an obvious inability to predict how effective their projects would be if implemented, those who managed to gain the support of state leaders very frequently peddled educational reform schemes they expected would generate real improvements, including heightened abilities to apprehend the quality of usefulness. This paper considers the relationship between pedagogy and expectations in a three-part reform project put forward by an early commercial advisor and projector named Paul Jacob Marperger (1656–1730). Keenly aware of the pedagogical dimensions of ongoing efforts to both generate useful knowledge and to cultivate skilled observers and makers of it, Marperger used his project to showcase his commitment to the incremental improvement of society via the creation of new training regimens for young people and adults. The paper studies how he linked his expectations to existing institutions, technologies and ongoing reform efforts, including new teaching methods and materials.
许多18世纪的投影仪相信教育学的潜力,包括它改善生活和从根本上重新配置社会结构的能力。尽管显然无法预测他们的项目如果实施会有多有效,但那些设法获得国家领导人支持的人经常兜售他们期望的教育改革计划,这些计划会带来真正的改善,包括提高理解有用性质量的能力。本文考虑了早期商业顾问兼投影仪Paul Jacob Marperger(1656-1730)提出的一个由三部分组成的改革项目中教育学和期望之间的关系。Marperger敏锐地意识到正在进行的创造有用知识和培养熟练观察者和制造者的努力的教学层面,他利用自己的项目展示了他对通过为年轻人和成年人创造新的培训方案来逐步改善社会的承诺。这篇论文研究了他如何将自己的期望与现有的机构、技术和正在进行的改革努力联系起来,包括新的教学方法和材料。

What is a useful university? knowledge economies and higher education in late eighteenth-century Denmark and central Europe 什么是有用的大学?知识经济和高等教育在18世纪晚期的丹麦和中欧
IF 0.4 3区 哲学 Q3 HISTORY & PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCE Pub Date : 2018-06-20 DOI: 10.1098/rsnr.2018.0006
Dominik Hünniger
Universities were an important site of Enlightenment improvement discourse and knowledge economies in the German-speaking lands and Scandinavia. Late eighteenth-century state building and scholars’ expectations of their own ‘usefulness’ regarding these processes were closely intertwined. The life and publications of the German-speaking Danish naturalist Johann Christian Fabricius (1745–1808) are used here to understand contemporary debates on the state of education, political economy and the development of the sciences in relation to ideas about economic and social progress. Fabricius was professor for ‘œconomics, cameral sciences and natural history’ at Kiel University for more than 30 years, from 1775 to 1808, and was one of the most outspoken writers on economic reform in Schleswig-Holstein and Denmark. Fabricius’ suggestions for improvement involved directly addressing social categories as well as the re-organization of universities in form and curricular content. Fabricius was engaged in debates on how to best achieve the specific knowledge and skills considered useful for the emerging nation-state. The essay analyses Fabricius’ interventions in these debates in the context of the contemporary development of the ‘research university’ around 1800.
在德语区和斯堪的纳维亚半岛,大学是启蒙运动改善话语和知识经济的重要场所。十八世纪晚期的国家建设和学者们对这些过程的“有用性”的期望紧密交织在一起。德语丹麦博物学家Johann Christian Fabricius(1745–1808)的生平和出版物被用来理解当代关于教育状况、政治经济和科学发展与经济和社会进步思想的辩论。从1775年到1808年,法布里修斯在基尔大学担任了30多年的经济学、摄像学和自然史教授,是石勒苏益格-荷尔斯泰因和丹麦经济改革方面最直言不讳的作家之一。法布里修斯的改进建议包括直接解决社会类别问题,以及在形式和课程内容上对大学进行重组。法布里修斯参与了关于如何最好地获得被认为对新兴民族国家有用的特定知识和技能的辩论。本文以1800年前后“研究型大学”的当代发展为背景,分析了法布里修斯对这些争论的干预。

Einstein in Oxford 爱因斯坦在牛津

Albert Einstein made three visits to Oxford between 1931 and 1933, staying for a month in the spring of each year. For our understanding of Einstein's work, the Rhodes Memorial Lectures that he delivered during his first visit are of special interest. They show him in a period of intense rethinking of his cosmological views in the light of Edwin Hubble's recent evidence in favour of an expanding universe, an idea that Einstein had hitherto opposed. The lectures, heavily mathematical and delivered in German, were challenging. Nevertheless, they were well received, and Frederick Lindemann (later Lord Cherwell) saw them as a springboard for a continuing association between Einstein and the University's Clarendon Laboratory. To that end, Lindemann persuaded his college, Christ Church, to invite Einstein for a month in 1932 and each of the four years that followed. The arrangement, part of Lindemann's plan to revitalize Oxford physics, was soon overtaken by political events in Germany and Einstein's emigration to Princeton in October 1933.
1931年至1933年间,阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦曾三次访问牛津大学,每年春天都要待上一个月。对于我们对爱因斯坦工作的理解,他在第一次访问期间所做的罗兹纪念讲座是特别有趣的。这些照片表明,爱因斯坦在一段时间内,根据埃德温•哈勃(Edwin Hubble)最近提出的支持宇宙膨胀的证据,对自己的宇宙学观点进行了激烈的反思,而爱因斯坦此前一直反对宇宙膨胀。授课内容以数学为主,用德语授课,极具挑战性。尽管如此,他们还是受到了好评,弗雷德里克·林德曼(后来的查威尔勋爵)把他们看作是爱因斯坦和大学克拉伦登实验室之间持续联系的跳板。为此,林德曼说服他所在的基督教堂学院在1932年邀请爱因斯坦一个月,之后四年每年都邀请他。这项安排是林德曼振兴牛津物理学计划的一部分,但很快就被德国的政治事件和爱因斯坦于1933年10月移居普林斯顿所取代。

The historiographical construct of the ‘Baconian programme’ rose to prominence in the mid-twentieth century. It has since shaped views of Bacon and his followers, particularly concerning Bacon's utilitarianism. It has also set expectations concerning how defined and prescriptive Bacon's vision of the future ought to be for later Baconians. Yet, neither Bacon nor those who claimed to follow him thought of his work in programmatic ways. The early modern view of Bacon's futuristic writing allowed his followers great agency in re-sketching it to fit changing times. This essay first follows the rise of a ‘Baconian programme’ in historiography. It then returns to the past to outline some of the rich vocabulary for future-oriented writing deployed by the first generation of Bacon's self-proclaimed followers. Finally, testing how Bacon's plans appeared over a longer durée, it skips forward to Peter Shaw (1694–1763) and Joseph Priestley (1733–1804). Shaw employed one of Bacon's futuristic terms (desiderata), dropped another (optativa) and developed the significance of a new category (hint). Shaw's case illustrates the creativity that even Bacon's most ardent followers expected to be within their rights. Baconianism invited future redrafting and haphazard invention, rather than adherence to a predictive programme.
“巴科尼亚计划”的史学结构在二十世纪中期变得突出。自那以后,它形成了培根及其追随者的观点,尤其是关于培根功利主义的观点。它还设定了人们对培根对未来的愿景应该如何定义和规范的期望。然而,无论是培根还是那些声称追随他的人,都没有以纲领性的方式看待他的作品。培根未来主义写作的早期现代观点使他的追随者在重新绘制草图以适应不断变化的时代方面发挥了巨大的作用。本文首先探讨了“巴康主义纲领”在史学中的兴起。然后,它回到过去,概述了培根的第一代自封追随者为面向未来的写作所使用的一些丰富词汇。最后,为了测试培根的计划是如何在更长的时间内出现的,它跳到了彼得·肖(1694-1763)和约瑟夫·普里斯特利(1733-1804)身上。肖使用了培根的一个未来主义术语(desiderata),放弃了另一个术语(optativa),并发展了一个新类别的意义(hint)。肖的案例说明了即使是培根最狂热的追随者也希望在他们的权利范围内发挥创造力。Baconianism邀请了未来的重新起草和随意的发明,而不是坚持一个预测性的计划。
