Instruments and the Imagination pdf epub mobi 圖書描述

Thomas Hankins and Robert Silverman investigate an array of instruments from the seventeenth through the nineteenth century that seem at first to be marginal to science--magnetic clocks that were said to operate by the movements of sunflower seeds, magic lanterns, ocular harpsichords (machines that played different colored lights in harmonious mixtures), Aeolian harps (a form of wind chime), and other instruments of "natural magic" designed to produce wondrous effects. By looking at these and the first recording instruments, the stereoscope, and speaking machines, the authors show that "scientific instruments" first made their appearance as devices used to evoke wonder in the beholder, as in works of magic and the theater.

The authors also demonstrate that these instruments, even though they were often "tricks," were seen by their inventors as more than trickery. In the view of Athanasius Kircher, for instance, the sunflower clock was not merely a hoax, but an effort to demonstrate, however fraudulently, his truly held belief that the ability of a flower to follow the sun was due to the same cosmic magnetic influence as that which moved the planets and caused the rotation of the earth. The marvels revealed in this work raise and answer questions about the connections between natural science and natural magic, the meaning of demonstration, the role of language and the senses in science, and the connections among art, music, literature, and natural science.

Originally published in 1995.

Instruments and the Imagination pdf epub mobi 用戶評價

評分

除瞭序言之外都不是那麼有用,但是二十年前開始把儀器當作研究科學實踐和方法的核心也算是某種思路上的突破瞭?倒是浪漫主義文學裏提及的科學儀器、以及一些特彆怪異的儀器,讀來真稀奇。

評分

很有現象學的味道。這不是對各種儀器前史的獵奇式的探索,而恰恰是一門科學史的應有之義——攪動現代科學儀器身前久已沉澱,被我們遺忘的多重意義。刻畫齣的是近代實驗哲學與自然魔法之間復雜微妙的關聯,以及二者最終分道揚鑣的思想基礎。
