In these chapters we are introduced to the psychology of science and of scientists and we learn about Cavendish’s life and times. His personality is examined from two perspectives: one is that he had a less severe form of autism, as has been claimed; the other is that he was eccentric and a psychological disorder was absent..Henry Cavendish lived a life of science, possibly more completely than any other figure in the history of science: a wealthy aristocrat, he became a dedicated scientist. This study brings new information and a new perspective to our understanding of the man. The scientific and non-scientific sides of his life are brought closer together, as the author traces topics including his appearance, speech, wealth, religion and death as well as Cavendish’s life of natural philosophy where objectivity and accuracy, writing and recognition all played a part. The author traces aspects of Cavendish’s personality, views and interpretations of him, and explores notions of eccentricity and | | 出版日期 | Book 2014 | | 关键词 | Autism and Other Disorders; Cavendish and Grey Family Trees; Cavendish’s Houses; Henry Cavendish; Henry | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-02438-7 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-319-35064-6 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-02438-7Series ISSN 1385-0180 Series E-ISSN 2215-0064 | | issn_series | 1385-0180 | | copyright | Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2014 |
