Book Synopsis Minerva's Circle by : Judith Strong Albert
Download or read book Minerva's Circle written by Judith Strong Albert and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Minerva's Circle: Margaret Fuller's Women opens on the Boston Conversations led by Margaret Fuller between 1839 and 1844, exploring the status of Woman and women's rights. Judith Strong Albert has created a fictional session partially based on notes written by participants at the Conversations. She gives vivid narratives of the lives of four New England women, drawing upon their own writinga: Margaret Fuller herself as well as Lydia Maria Child, Elizabeth Palmer Peabody, and Caroline Healey Dall -- all three of whom were deeply influenced by Fuller and, in turn, influenced her. Their biographies offer parallel views of childhood, life choices and work. These women left profound legacies shaping civil rights, children's education and women's rights in America. Minerva's Circle illuminates the linkage between the four women, the thrust of their ideas and their impact on 20th century feminism, concluding with an overview of the history of feminism in the United States.

Book Synopsis Minerva's French Sisters by : Nina Rattner Gelbart
Download or read book Minerva's French Sisters written by Nina Rattner Gelbart and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2021 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fascinating collective biography of six female scientists in eighteenth-century France, whose stories were largely written out of history This book presents the stories of six intrepid Frenchwomen of science in the Enlightenment whose accomplishments--though celebrated in their lifetimes--have been generally omitted from subsequent studies of their period: mathematician and philosopher Elisabeth Ferrand, astronomer Nicole Reine Lepaute, field naturalist Jeanne Barret, garden botanist and illustrator Madeleine Françoise Basseporte, anatomist and inventor Marie-Marguerite Biheron, and chemist Geneviève d'Arconville. By adjusting our lens, we can find them. In a society where science was not yet an established profession for men, much less women, these six audacious and inspiring figures made their mark on their respective fields of science and on Enlightenment society, as they defied gender expectations and conventional norms. Their boldness and contributions to science were appreciated by such luminaries as Franklin, the philosophes, and many European monarchs. The book is written in an unorthodox style to match the women's breaking of boundaries.

Book Synopsis Minerva Meets Vulcan: Scientific and Technological Literature – 1450–1750 by : Wolfgang Lefèvre
Download or read book Minerva Meets Vulcan: Scientific and Technological Literature – 1450–1750 written by Wolfgang Lefèvre and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-06-16 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a comprehensive study and account of the co-evolution of technological and scientific literature in the early modern period (1450-1750). It examines the various relationships of these literatures in six areas of knowledge – Architecture, Chemistry, Gunnery, Mechanical Engineering, Mining, and Practical Mathematics – which represent the main types of advanced technological and scientific knowledge of the era. These six fields of technologically advanced knowledge and their interrelations and interactions with learned knowledge are investigated and discussed through a specific lens: by focusing on the technological literature. Among present-day historians of science, it hardly remains controversial that contact and exchange between educated and practical knowledge played a significant role in the development of the natural sciences and technology in early modern Europe. Several paths for such exchange arose from the late Middle Ages onward due to the formation of an economy of knowledge that fostered contacts and exchange between the two worlds. How can this development be adequately described and how, on the basis of such a description, can the significance of this process for the early modern history of knowledge in the West be assessed? These are the overarching questions this book tries to answer. There exists a considerable amount of literature concerning several stations and events in the course of this long development process as well as its various aspects. As meritorious and indispensable as many of these studies are, none of them tried to portray this process as a whole with its most essential branches. What is more, many of them implicitly or explicitly took physics as a model of science, and thus highlighted mechanics and mechanical engineering as the model of all interrelations of practical and learned knowledge. By contrast, this book aims at a more complete portrait of the early modern interrelations and interactions between learned and practical knowledge. It tries to convey a new idea of the variety and disunity of these relations by discussing and comparing altogether six widely different fields of knowledge and practice. The targeted audience of this book is first of all the historians of science and technology. As one of the peer reviewers suggested – the book could very well become a textbook used for teaching the history of science and technology at universities. Furthermore, since the book addresses fundamental aspects of the significance emergence and development of modern science has for the self-image of the West, it can be expected that it will attract the attention and interest of a wider readership than professional historians.

Book Synopsis The Owl of Minerva by : Boštjan M. Zupančič
Download or read book The Owl of Minerva written by Boštjan M. Zupančič and published by Eleven International Publishing. This book was released on 2008 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The title of the book is taken from Hegel and refers to the idea that philosophy cannot be prescriptive because it understands only in hindsight. The same holds true for conceptions of human rights. Based on his many years of experience in the field, the author shares his thoughts about human rights and the role it plays in society. In these thought-provoking essays, the author examines the dialectic relationship between rule of law and law and order; between state and individual; judicial power of logic vs executive logic of power. These dynamic contradictions are never resolved. On the contrary, they are the motor of development and inspire judicial reasoning and the balancing of justice vis--vis power and arbitrariness.
