Empowering Lay Belief
ArgumentHow did Boyle’s religious concerns and views cause his experimental philosophy to differ from received views on the goals and methods of natural philosophy? I argue that Boyle predicated his experimental philosophy on two fundamental doctrines. The first claimed that attributing causality to natural entities was idolatrous, that is, intellectually and morally erroneous. The second doctrine claimed that causal relations in the natural worl…
The Scientific Discovery of ‘Natural Capital’
The discovery of natural goods
While the study of Newton's religious views has been continuously expanding, it has not been brought to bear directly on Newton's career as an ‘experimental philosopher’. Historical perspectives on his optical experiments in particular affirm the historiographic separation between the religious and scientific aspects of his work. In this paper I examine the practical implication of Newton's theology of dominion on his early experiments on light a…
Locke's ideology of ‘common sense’
The Value of Facts in Boyle's Experimental Philosophy
Cet article explore chez Boyle la construction morale-economique et centree sur la religion de la valeur de l'experience, decrit ensuite ses opinions theologiques generales a propos du service divin et examine les conceptions metaphysiques elaborees par Boyle dans le but de clarifier les conditions qui ont rendu la philosophie naturelle capable de se decharger de son mandat economique
Keys to the Garden
The disenchanted world and beyond
Positivism and, especially, Max Weber's vision of the modern disen chantment of the world are incoherent because they separate human culture from the environment in which human agents pursue their life- projects. The same problem is manifested, more blatantly, in current social studies of science, which take the project of disenchantment further by disenchanting science itself. A different image of science is traced to classical empiricism, whose…

The empiric experience and the practice of autonomy
Social mobility and scientific change
The concept of electrical conductivity, or, as initially coined by Stephen Gray (1666–1736), ‘electrical communication’, has always been assigned an important role in the history of electrical research. Some thirty-five years after Gray's ‘electrical communication’ acquired wide attention, Priestley employed the concept of conductivity to define physical reality, thus giving a privileged position to the science he himself endeavoured to cultivate…
