    Incontrovertible reasons are given for thinking that history rather than science provides the gold standard for reliable theorizing, a proposition illustrated by an example of historical theorizing drawn from the author’s work after a lengthy search

  • Thomas F. Mayer. The Roman Inquisition

    J L HeilbronARTICLEThe American Historical Review2016

    Trying Galileo is the posthumous third volume of a trilogy on the workings of the Roman Inquisition by the late Thomas F. Mayer, who taught for many years at Augustana College in Rock Island, Illinois. Like the first two volumes, it deals with matters of canon law and inquisitorial practice collected from handbooks and from widely ranging archival sources. These materials constitute the main value of the series. Mayer’s application of his hard-wo…

  • Reply to Westman

    J L HeilbronARTICLEPerspectives on Science2013

    The question of the Copernican Question is whether, in arguing its thesis, Professor Westman met the standards of argument and evidence expected of a senior historian.

Celles-ci liaient notamment entre eux les fluides impondérables supposés être les causes de l'électricité, du magnétisme, de la chaleur, de la lumière, de la combustion et de la respiration. Les différentes sortes de gaz découvertes dans les années 1760 et 1770 constituaient un pendant concret des diverses espèces d…

    The ArgumentA brief review of the Merton thesis shows that its restriction to England is arbitrary. An example from the historiography of modern physics suggests the possible payoff of an ecumenical Merton thesis and the means to explore it. A summary of the careers of men who practiced science literally in the church - men who built meridian lines in Italian cathedrals - indicates the range of social support of astronomical studies by Catholic i…

    J L Heilbron, Daniel J KevlesARTICLEReviews in American History1988Citada por: 2

    The significance of science and technology (henceforth, SciTech) in U.S. History should need no advertisement. By the last third of the nineteenth century, the abundance and richness of the land, which had supported the material growth of the country since colonial times, no longer sufficed for an increasing and increasingly demanding population. As John Wesley Powell recommended in 1878, ahead of his time, wise management of resources beyond the…
