Whewell’s Gazette
Your weekly digest of all the best of
Internet history of science, technology and medicine
Editor in Chief: The Ghost of William Whewell
Year 3, Volume #10
Monday 24 October 2016
EDITORIAL:
The nights are closing in but there is nothing better than an evening spent with a warm jug of grog and the latest edition of Whewell’s Gazette the weekly #histSTM links list serving up all of the histories of science, technology and medicine that we could bring out of the cold dark depths of cyberspace.
Two of the subjects considered in this week’s Birthday’s of the Week are often held up for ridicule by people, who hold some sort of triumphalist view of the history of science. In the opinion of such people only theories produced in the history of science, which are today considered to be more or less correct are worthy of our contemplation and our respect. All those theories, which turned out to be wrong are to be dumped into some sort of historical dustbin only to be taken out when an object of scorn or ridicule is required for a good laugh and or a good kicking.
A popular candidate for such behaviour is the phlogiston theory, most strongly propagated by Georg Ernst Stahl, who was born 22 October 1659. The usual comment of our triumphalist on hearing the word phlogiston is to snort derisively and to exclaim how could anybody believe such stupidity. James Ussher’s determination, as a Bible chronologist, of the beginning of the world is treated with even greater disdain.
Such losers in the history of science as the Greeks, who, would you credit it, thought that the earth is at the centre of the cosmos or Lamarck with his silly theories of adaptive evolution also come in for regular bouts of contempt and mockery. At the same time their supposed debunkers, respectively Copernicus and Darwin, are praised beyond measure and hero-worshipped.
This positivist, triumphalist, presentist view of #histSTM is not only stupid but also dangerous because it can and does effect the way we try to teach science to future generations. Theories that in the long run turn out to be false, and that is nearly all scientific theories that have ever been held, can and very often do make substantial contributions to the progress of science.
The phlogiston theory produced much of the evidence on which the later chemical theories that replaced it were built. The Bible chronologists, who included not only Ussher but also Kepler and Newton amongst their numbers, contributed through the methodologies that they developed to the evolution of the modern historical disciplines. Those Greek geocentrists, most notably Ptolemaeus, provided the instruments, methodologies and data with which Copernicus and other early heliocentrists constructed their theories. Likewise, Lamarck, a brilliant natural historian, delivered much of the material, including his ideas on evolution, out of which Darwin and other constructed their theories.
Don’t just acknowledge, study and celebrate the so-called #histSTM winners but devote at least as much time and effort to the so-called losers, who contributed at least as much to that structure that we call science.
