  • Sobre o Estilo na História Intelectual

    Open AccessGildo Magalhães Dos Santos Filho, Lewis PyensonARTICLEKhronos2023

    O estilo no passado denotava sensibilidades gerais que guiam o pensamento e a ação. Tentativas de mostrar como o estilo deriva das circunstâncias materiais da vida permanecem inconclusivas por causa da dificuldade em decidir quais partes da cultura do passado estão no centro dele. As vantagens e desvantagens dos modelos e esquemas oferecidos pelos principais teóricos das gerações passadas são usadas para apoiar a proposição de que a filosofia é u…

  • Compatible Humanists

    Dian Zeng, Zeng Dian et al.ARTICLEIsis2019Citada por: 1Referências: 7

    This essay shows that comparable notions of humanism emerged independently in two twentieth-century scholars, Yuen Ren Chao (1892–1982) and George Sarton (1884–1956). They met as young men at Harvard University and found themselves to be compatible thinkers. They both respected the so-called facts of science, perhaps more than theories in science. They saw their task as assembling these facts for a future synthesis. They recognized the diversity …

  • Bonnie Effros. Uncovering the Germanic Past

    Lewis PyensonARTICLEThe American Historical Review2014

    During a recent visit to London, I attended a flamenco performance by the masterful Sara Baras. The show, at Sadler's Wells, carried the title “La Pepa,” a nickname for the Cádiz Constitution of 1812 (adopted on St. Joseph's Day, Pepa being a nickname for Josephine). Baras intended the performance to evoke the hope of constitutional democracy as well as the soul of Spain. It concluded to thunderous applause as the dancers displayed a gigantic cro…

  • James E. MCCLELLAN III and FRANCOIS Regourd. The Colonial Machine

    Lewis PyensonARTICLEThe American Historical Review2012

    In this magnificent volume, James E. McClellan III and François Regourd provide a comprehensive survey of how the French studied nature in their overseas colonies and spheres of influence during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The red thread is a vast entanglement of people and institutions guided from Paris, which the authors call the “Colonial Machine.” The word “machine” appeared widely in the eighteenth century in the sense of “cont…

  • Athena's retinue

    Open AccessLewis PyensonARTICLEThe British Journal for the…2012Referências: 17

    Between 1860 and 1880, scientists in the United States, Argentina and Russia accompanied military expeditions on the northern Great Plains, in Patagonia, and in northeastern Asia. The extent to which the scientists were able to remain at arm's length from the slaughter of war is seen in the publications resulting from their travels. In the context of consolidating or extending national territory during the modern age, military patronage did not i…

  • Ego and the International

    Lewis Pyenson, Christine Verbruggen et al.ARTICLEIsis2009Citada por: 8Referências: 13

    The early years of Isis are examined in the light of George Sarton’s connection with Paul Otlet (1868 –1944) and Henri Lafontaine (1854 –1943), founders in 1895 of the International\nOffice of Bibliography and in 1907 of the Union of International Associations, both in Brussels. Otlet, known as one of the fathers of the Information Age, invented the science of information, which he called, in French, documentation. Lafontaine, a socialist senator…

  • An End to National Science

    Open AccessLewis PyensonARTICLEHistory of Science2002Citada por: 6Referências: 23

    L'auteur s'interroge sur le concept de savoir local en constatant la disparition d'une science nationale. Il etablit le principe selon lequel l'Etat est un intervenant nefaste et perturbe la vie scientifique qui progresse a l'echelon local mais juge ses progres selon des normes precises au niveau transnational. De ce point de vue, la science est un savoir locale valide mondialement

  • Quantum Generations

    Lewis PyensonARTICLETechnology and Culture2001

    Physics, above all other branches of learning, underpins the microelectronics, the radiations of diverse wavelengths, and the molecular engineering that guide our life today, and in Quantum Generations Helge Kragh has provided a comprehensive and accessible history of physics in the twentieth century. Over the past thirty years, studies of late-nineteenth-century and twentieth-century physics have set the standard for scholarship in the history o…

    A controvérsia sobre a natureza da eletricidade, surgida em meados do século XVIII entre Jean Antoine Nollet e os seguidores de Benjamin Franklin, é utilizada para investigar até que ponto a fé católica e a protestante desempenharam um papel, quanto ao discurso, no âmbito da filosofia natural. O católico Nollet e o protestante Franklin compartilharam vários atributos em comum, porém o prazer do debate intelectual não era um deles
