Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Photos included in listing. About the book This 1993 book deals with debates about science - its history, philosophy and moral value - in the first half of the nineteenth century, a period in which the 'modern' features of science developed. Defining Science also examines the different forms or genres in which science was discussed in the public sphere - most crucially in the Victorian review journals, but also in biographical, historical and educational works. William Whewell wrote major works on the history and philosophy of science before these became technical subjects. Consequently he had to define his own role as a metascientific critic (in a manner akin to cultural critics like Coleridge and Carlyle) as well as seeking to define science for both expert and lay audiences.…

Facsimile reprint of the 1881 C. Kegan Paul edition. 8vo. xv, 591, ads. [2] pp. Frontis. port. of Whewell, index. Black cloth, gilt-stamped spine title. Fine. ISBN: 1855060922 William Whewell FRS FGS FRSE was an English polymath, scientist, Anglican priest, philosopher, theologian, and historian of science. He was Master of Trinity College, Cambridge. "William Whewell (1794â"1866) was one of the most important and influential figures in nineteenth-century Britain. Whewell, a polymath, wrote extensively on numerous subjects, including mechanics, mineralogy, geology, astronomy, political economy, theology, educational reform, international law, and architecture, as well as the works that remain the most well-known today in philosophy of science, history of science, and moral philosophy. He was one of the founding members and a president of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, a fellow of the Royal Society, president of the Geological Society, and longtime Master of Trinity College, Cambridge. In his own time his influence was acknowledged by the major scientists of the day, such as John Herschel, Charles Darwin, Charles Lyell and Michael Faraday, who frequently turned to Whewell for philosophical and scientific advice, and, interestingly, for terminological assistance. Whewell invented the terms "anode," "cathode," and "ion" for Faraday. In response to a challenge by the poet S.T. Coleridge in 1833, Whewell invented the English word "scientist;" before this time the only terms in use were "natural philosopher" and "man of science". ⦠During his lifetime Whewell published approximately 150 books, articles, scientific papers, society reports, reviews, and translations." â" Laura J. Snyder, Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy.…
