Die Grundlagen und Voraussetzungen unserer modernen Wissenschafts- und Wissenskonzeptionen wurden in der Antike gelegt. Dieser erste Band einer Geschichte der Naturwissenschaft macht das Gefüge der uns heute leitenden, uns ausrichtenden und auch der von uns verdrängten Konzeptionen in seinen wesentlichen historischen Schritten erkennbar. Stufen der Problembearbeitung und des Problemverstehens werden in ihren jeweils eigenen Horizonten beschrieben und in den daraus folgenden Anregungen und den dabei  immer wieder neu eingestellten Rahmenbedingungen dargestellt. Die hier erzählte Genese unserer Wissenschaftskultur setzt mit den ersten Versuchen einer Systematisierung von Wissen ein, der Notation der Zahlen, und führt über den Vorderen Orient, Griechenland und Rom bis in die Spätantike.

In this monograph, Steffen Ducheyne presents a traditionally distinctive and systematically wealthy explication of Newton’s technique. during the pages of this publication, it is going to be proven that Newton constructed a posh natural-philosophical technique which encompasses approaches to lessen inductive probability in the course of the technique of conception formation and which, thereby, surpasses a customary hypothetico-deductive methodological surroundings. for this reason, will probably be highlighted that the so-called ‘Newtonian Revolution’ used to be now not constrained to the empirical and theoretical dimensions of technological know-how, yet utilized both to the methodological measurement of technological know-how. additionally, it is going to be documented that Newton’s method was once faraway from static and that it built along along with his clinical paintings. consciousness should be paid not just to the successes of Newton’s leading edge method, yet both to its tensions and obstacles. in response to an intensive examine of Newton’s extant manuscripts, this monograph will handle and contextualize, inter alia, Newton’s causal realism, his perspectives on motion at a distance and area and time, the prestige of effective causation within the /Principia/, the various levels of his method, his therapy of strength and the components of the physico-mathematical types within the context of e-book I of the /Principia/, the analytic a part of the argument for common gravitation, the which means and value of his regulae philosophandi, the methodological modifications among his mechanical and optical paintings, and, ultimately, the interaction among Newton’s theology and his normal philosophy.

Wirtschaft ist ein zentrales Motiv im Werk von Peter Hacks. Welche Stellung bezog Hacks zu zeitgenössischen Entwicklungen - insbesondere zu wirtschaftspolitischen Konflikten in der DDR und damit zur Frage nach dem Sozialismus als eigenständige Epoche zwischen Kapitalismus und Kommunismus? Welche verallgemeinerbaren Aussagen über Ökonomie lassen sich aus diesen Stellungnahmen herausarbeiten, und wie sind sie vom heutigen Kenntnisstand aus zu bewerten? In welcher Weise sind die Positionen im dramatischen Werk entwickelt, auch im Vergleich mit Theaterstücken anderer Autoren der DDR? Welches sind die Potentiale, die dieses Werk heute hat? Diese Fragen klärten die Referenten auf der Hacks-Tagung 2014, deren Vorträge
hier gesammelt vorliegen.

He charts the early improvement of technology in India, its position within the secularization of Indian society, and the next reassertion, edition and rejection of conventional modes of proposal. The ideals of key Indian scientists, together with Jagadish Chandra Bose, percent. Roy and S.N. Bose are explored and the ebook is going directly to replicate upon how person scientists may nonetheless settle for specific spiritual ideals reminiscent of reincarnation, cosmology, miracles and prayer.

In 1905, 8 males from the California Academy of Sciences set sail from San Francisco for a systematic assortment excursion within the Galapagos Islands, and by the point they have been comprehensive in 1906, that they had accomplished some of the most vital expeditions within the heritage of either evolutionary and conservation technology. those scientists gathered over 78,000 specimens in the course of their time at the islands, validating the paintings of Charles Darwin and laying the basis for foundational evolution texts like Darwin's Finches. regardless of its value, nearly not anything has been written in this voyage, misplaced among dialogue of Darwin's journey at the Beagle and the writing of David Lack.

In Collecting Evolution, writer Matthew James ultimately tells the tale of the 1905 Galapagos day trip. James follows those 8 younger males aboard the Academy to the Galapagos and again, and divulges the explanations at the back of the groundbreaking good fortune that they had. A present Fellow of the California Academy of Sciences, James makes use of his entry to unpublished writings and pictures to supply exceptional perception into the day trip. We study the voyagers' own tales, and the way, for the entire medical growth that used to be made, simply as a lot severe own drama spread out at the journey. This booklet stocks a watershed second in clinical heritage, crossed with a maritime event. There are 4 tangential suicides and controversies over credits and popularity. Collecting Evolution additionally explores the private lives and medical context that preceded this voyage, together with what introduced Darwin to the Galapagos at the Beagle voyage seventy years prior. James discusses how those males considered themselves as "collectors" sooner than they considered themselves as scientists, and the consequences this had on their procedure and their results.

In the tip, the voyage of the Academy proved to be an important within the improvement of evolutionary technology as we all know it. it's the longest day trip in Galapagos background, and performed a severe position in cementing Darwin's legacy.

The time period utilized in the name of this volume--thinking practices--evokes questions that the authors of the chapters inside it start to solution: What are pondering practices? What may colleges and different studying settings seem like in the event that they have been prepared for the training of considering practices? Are pondering practices common, or do they range by means of disciplines? If there are changes, what implications do these transformations have for a way we arrange instructing and studying? How do views on studying, cognition, and tradition impact the categories of studying stories teenagers and adults have?

This quantity describes advances which have been made towards answering those questions. those advances contain a number of agendas, together with expanding interdisciplinary conversation and collaboration; reconciling learn on cognition with learn on educating, studying, and college tradition; and strengthening the connections among examine and college practice.

The time period thinking practices is symbolic of a mixture of theoretical views that experience contributed to the amount editors' knowing of ways humans study, how they set up their considering inside of and throughout disciplines, and the way institution studying will be greater equipped. by means of traveling via a number of the views on pondering and studying that experience advanced into college studying designs, Greeno and Goldman start to identify a body for what they're calling considering practices.

He additionally info how various scientists held relatively various perspectives approximately what “political” intended of their efforts to pursue overseas cooperation. 

The narrative examines the explicit epistemic beneficial properties of common relativity that helped create the 1st legitimate, overseas medical society. It solutions: Why did relativity result in this exact outcome? used to be it easily the made of particular activities of specific actors having an illuminated view of diplomacy within the particular context of the chilly battle? Or, used to be there whatever within the nature of the sphere that encouraged the actors to pioneer new methods of overseas cooperation?
