評分Historical gossips, which might serve as a good assemblage of references. Including topics: How Englishmen learned mathematics. How Hegel was detested in Britain from the dawn of time. The intellectual culture at 19th century Cambridge. Leibniz's plan of sending a calculator to 康熙. And the idols of Charles Darwin.

The Philosophical Breakfast Club recounts the life and work of four men who met as students at Cambridge University: Charles Babbage, John Herschel, William Whewell, and Richard Jones. Recognizing that they shared a love of science (as well as good food and drink) they began to meet on Sunday mornings to talk about the state of science in Britain and the world at large. Inspired by the great 17th century scientific reformer and political figure Francis Bacon—another former student of Cambridge—the Philosophical Breakfast Club plotted to bring about a new scientific revolution. And to a remarkable extent, they succeeded, even in ways they never intended.
Historian of science and philosopher Laura J. Snyder exposes the political passions, religious impulses, friendships, rivalries, and love of knowledge—and power—that drove these extraordinary men. Whewell (who not only invented the word “scientist,” but also founded the fields of crystallography, mathematical economics, and the science of tides), Babbage (a mathematical genius who invented the modern computer), Herschel (who mapped the skies of the Southern Hemisphere and contributed to the invention of photography), and Jones (a curate who shaped the science of economics) were at the vanguard of the modernization of science.
This absorbing narrative of people, science and ideas chronicles the intellectual revolution inaugurated by these men, one that continues to mold our understanding of the world around us and of our place within it. Drawing upon the voluminous correspondence between the four men over the fifty years of their work, Laura J. Snyder shows how friendship worked to spur the men on to greater accomplishments, and how it enabled them to transform science and help create the modern world.
斯诺命题:两种文化与第三种文化 人文艺术与自然科学之间的鸿沟,可以说是东西方的一个共同命题。 20世纪初,中国出现了一场影响深远的「科玄论战」,胡适、梁启超等重要人物都加入战团,引发了人们对科学和人生观之关系的探讨。 20世纪50年代,物理学家兼小说家C.P.斯诺因为看...
評分在离世之前,哲学早餐俱乐部的成员们终于看到了自己在学生时代的计划开花结果。他们成功地将科学置于一个完全不同的道路上,他们的成功甚至超过了他们最乐观的梦想。他们重新设置了科学的轨道,也就是参与塑造了现代世界,在这个世界里,科学是主演。之前,提到自然哲学家,人...
評分1833年,当剑桥大学认为一个整天挖化石或用电做实验的人不配“自然哲学家”的名号时,物理学家威廉•休厄尔创造了一个新词汇指称他们,这就是scientist(科学家)。早在1812年,当威廉还是剑桥大学学生时,他便与三位同学(查尔斯•巴贝奇、约翰•赫歇尔、理查德•琼斯...
