Boyle Studies
This is the latest collection of articles and chapters by Michael Hunter. The previously unpublished first chapter reminds us of the longstanding view of Boyle as a great English scientist. In recent years, our understanding of Boyle has broadened, in large part because Hunter has led (and completed) the projects of producing definitive editions of Boyle’s works (fourteen volumes) and correspondence (six volumes), and cataloguing the eighty bound…

Your astronomers and ours differ exceedingly’
This article presents evidence that an anonymous publication of 1573, a Letter sent by a gentleman of England [concerning ...] the myraculous starre nowe shyning , was written by Thomas Digges, England's first Copernican. It tells the story of how it arose out of research commissioned by Elizabeth I's privy counsellors in response to the conventional argument of Jean Gosselin, librarian to Henri III of France, that the star was a comet which pres…
Science and Religion
The idea of an inevitable conflict between science and religion was decisively challenged by John Hedley Brooke in his classic Science and Religion: Some Historical Perspectives (Cambridge, 1991). Almost two decades on, Science and Religion: New Historical Perspectives revisits this argument and asks how historians can now impose order on the complex and contingent histories of religious engagements with science. Bringing together leading scholar…

Harriot's maps of the Moon
July 2009 is the 400th anniversary of the first telescopic observations of the Moon, made by the English scientist Thomas Harriot. Galileo's later drawings were more influential, but some historians now question the traditional view that Harriot's were inferior. Galileo's revealed the mountainous topography of the Moon, but Harriot's arguably had the different, cartographical aim of plotting lunar features precisely. This article suggests that, i…

Who did the work? Experimental philosophers and public demonstrators in Augustan England
The growth of modern science has been accompanied by the growth of professionalization. We can unquestionably speak of professional science since the nineteenth century, although historians dispute about where, when and how much. It is much more problematic and anachronistic to do so of the late seventeenth century, despite the familiar view that the period saw the origin of modern experimental science. This paper explores the broad implications …

O tempera, O magnes!’
As sociologists learn more about how scientific knowledge is created, they give historians the opportunity to rework their accounts from a more contextual perspective. It is relatively easy to do so in areas with large theoretical, cosmological or overtly ideological components. It is more difficult, but equally necessary, to open up very empirical accomplishments, and recent sociological analysis of the process of science gives us some interesti…
