دانلود کتاب کیهان شناسی و خود علمی در قرن نوزدهم – احساسات نجومی

This book will argue that while the historiography of the development of scientific ideas in the nineteenth century has for some time acknowledged the important influences of social, cultural and material factors, and the recent turn to the history of experience has further reinforced the influ­ences of internal and external psychotropic stimuli on subjectivities, the significant impact of traumatic events, life-threatening illnesses or bereave­ment on the development of scientific thought may not have been fully recognised. The ideas of selected subjects with respect to the nature of the universe and the interlinked epistemologies of science, religion, metaphys­ics and political ideology were sometimes materially altered by affective life-events as evidenced by the positions which they subsequently adopted and promulgated in relation to these overlapping sources of knowledge and praxis.
