Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scientific Culture: And Other Essays Since the period just referred to, the example early set at Cambridge of making the student's own oh servations in the laboratory or cabinet the basis of all teaching, either in experimental or natural history science, has been generally followed. But in most cen ters of education the old traditions so far survive that the great end of scientific culture is lost in attempting to conform even laboratory instruction to the old academic methods of recitations and examinations. These, as usually conducted, are simply hindrances in a course of scientific training, because they are no tests of the only ability or acquirement which science values, and there fore set before the student a false aim. To point out this error, and to claim for science teaching its appropri ate methods, was one object of the writer in these essays.

Book Synopsis Cultures and Institutions of Natural History by : Michael T. Ghiselin
Download or read book Cultures and Institutions of Natural History written by Michael T. Ghiselin and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-17 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cultures and Institutions of Natural History: Essays in the History and Philosophy of Science This volume consists mainly of papers delivered at two meetings cosponsored by the Museo Civico di Storia Naturale in Milan and the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco. The first, on the Culture of Natural History, was held in Milan, November l4-l 6, I996. The second, on Institutions of Natural History, was held in San Francisco, October 5 - 7, 1998. They followed two earlier conferences on Biology as History (pinna and Ghiselin I996; Ghiselin and Pinna I996) likewise held in Milan and San Francisco. We intend to continue the series of meetings and have publications based on them in commemoration of the Academy's sesquicentennial in 2003. The emphasis here is mainly upon natural history museums and the kind of science that goes on in them. Although the essays were originally written to stand by themselves, when arranged in chronological order they suggest a common theme. To paraphrase Darwin, the culture and institutions of natural history have been, and are being, evolved. They have adapted to local circumstances, diversified, and sometimes even progressed. We may hope that the future holds more than just retrogression and extinction in store. Read as case studies the essays provide valuable insights into not just how, but why, the institutions have come into being and subsequently been transformed. Previous generations had quite different ideas than we do about how a collection of naturalia is supposed to function and how it should be organized. And there were con icting goals and serious disputes about policy, much as there are today. Often, though not always, the institutions turn out to be very different from what had been envisioned by their founders.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Science and Culture, and Other Essays Six years ago, as some of my present hearers may remember, I had the privilege of addressing a large assemblage of the inhabitants of this city, who had gathered together to do honour to the memory of their famous townsman, Joseph Priestley; and, if any satisfaction attaches to posthumous glory, we may hope that the manes of the burnt-out philosopher were then finally appeased. No man, however, who is endowed with a fair share of common sense, and not more than a fair share of vanity, will identify either contemporary or posthumous fame with the highest good; and Priestley's life leaves no doubt that he, at any rate, set a much higher value upon the advancement of knowledge, and the promotion of that freedom of thought which is at once the cause and the consequence of intellectual progress. Hence I am disposed to think that, if Priestley could be amongst us to-day, the occasion of our meeting would afford him even greater pleasure than the proceedings which celebrated the centenary of his chief discovery.

Book Synopsis Nature of Science, and Other Essays (Classic Reprint) by : David Greenwood
Download or read book Nature of Science, and Other Essays (Classic Reprint) written by David Greenwood and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nature of Science, and Other Essays This book is intended as a collection of five essays in the general area of logic and mathematics as applied to science, composed, at various times, during the course of the past decade. The develop ment of the methods and results of natural science is possibly the most significant intellectual contribution of modern western civili zation to the galaxy of man's supreme achievements. I use the term natural science in its widest sense, including all theoretical knowl edge which cannot by definition be included under the category of the divine sciences, and which comprehends knowledge both dis covered by the application of special scientific procedures and based on common sense in everyday life. In the same way the expression language of science is meant here to refer to the language which contains all statements, i.e., theoretical sentences, in contradistinction to emotional expressions, commands, etc., used for scientific purposes in everyday life. What is usually called science I take to be a more systematic continuation of those activities which we carry out in everyday life in order to learn more about the world around us. As in my earlier book Truth and Meaning, I have not distin guished between any special logic of the empirical sciences and logic in general, since I doubt if any such differentiation really exists. I have taken logic as the name of the discipline which ana lyzes the meaning of the concepts common to all the sciences, and establishes the general laws governing the concepts. But I do recog nize two chief parts of the analysis of linguistic expressions in science. Scientific investigation may be restricted to the forms of_ the linguistic expressions involved and their relation to objects out side of language. An investigation of this type comes within the field of logical syntax, is restricted to formal analysis and abstracts from designation. In the second case, an investigation may not be restricted to formal analysis, but may take designation into con sideration. An investigation of this type comes within the field of semantics, and includes the semantical analysis of the designationof expressions. It will be obvious that this second part of scientific analysis is considerably broader than the first. A further distinction should be made between formal science and empirical science. Formal science consists of analytic statements established by logic and mathematics; empirical science consists of synthetic statements established in the different fields of factual knowledge.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Science of Culture, Vol. 2 One Sure Way of Rising in the World "You have one sure way of rising in the world, and that is wholly within your power; make yourself necessary." These are the words of Lord Chesterfield to his son, and the man whose fame rests upon the enduring foundation that his name has become a synonym for Culture, supplemented his advice with the statement that "civility, affability, and obliging agreeable dress and manner are welcome everywhere." In repeating this good advice to a protegee of her own, a New York dowager added: "Make yourself necessary to some one" and unpleasant to no one and she quoted an epitaph in an English churchyard reading: "She was so pleasant," as all that is necessary to say in praise of a person, in that it embraces everything good. A person without ability to express innate Culture cannot be pleasing to those who possess it, as the crudeness he might reveal would jar upon the nerves of the Cultured.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scientific Culture, and Other Essays Thirty years ago. when the writer began his work at Cambridge, instruction in the experimental sciences was given in our American colleges solely by means of lectures and recitations. Chemistry and Physics were allowed a limited space in the college curriculum as branches of useful knowledge, but were regarded as wholly subordinate to the classics and mathematics as a means of education; and as physical science was then taught, there can be no question that the accepted opinion was correct.

This book was released on 2018-02-25 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Higher Usefulness of Science, and Other Essays Theories are beyond question superlatively influen tial things among civilized men. And it matters little how broad and vague they are so long as we are con vinced that they deeply concern our personal welfare and the welfare of our kind. In support of theories so appraised we are willing, finally, to give our lives and our consuming intellectual labor also, to gaining an understanding of them if only we are convinced of their human worth. Can we become as thoroughly convinced of the value of theories of life formulated by accurate, patient, dry science, as we are of the value of corresponding theories formulated by the ology, or of the value of theories of national life for mulated from political experience? If so, we will make sacrifices for those theories - sacrifices in the way of time and mental effort to understand them.

Download or read book Future Science written by Max Brockman and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2011-10-13 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The next wave of science writing is here. Editor Max Brockman has talent-spotted 19 young scientists, working on leading-edge research across a wide range of fields. Nearly half of them are women, and all of them are great communicators: their passion and excitement makes this collection a wonderfully invigorating read. We hear from an astrobiologist at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena about the possibilities for life elsewhere in the solar system (and the universe); from the director of Yale's Comparative Cognition Laboratory about why we keep making the same mistakes; from a Cambridge lab about DNA synthesis; from the Tanzanian savannah about what lies behind attractiveness; we hear about how to breed plants to withstand disease, about ways to extract significance from the Interne's enormous datasets, about oceanography, neuroscience, microbiology, and evolutionary psychology.
