Howard Carlton examines the available primary sources which provide insight into the lives of a number of nineteenth-century astronomers, theologians and physicists to study the complex interactions within their ‘biocultural’ brain-body systems which drove parallel changes of perspective in theology, metaphysics, and cosmology. In doing so, he also explores three topics of great scientific interest during this period: the question of the possible existence of life on other planets; the deployment of the nebular hypothesis as a theory of cosmogony; and the religiously charged debates about the ages of the earth and sun. From this body of evidence we gain a greater understanding of the underlying phenomena which actuated intellectual developments in the past and which are still relevant to today’s knowledge-making processes.. | | 出版日期 | Book 2022 | | 关键词 | History of Science; Church; History of emotion; History of religion; Victorian; Space | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-05280-4 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-031-05282-8 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-031-05280-4 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
