Ashgate Variorum

The common focus of these essays is the debate on the nature of science - often referred to by contemporaries as ?natural knowledge? - in Britain during the first half of the 19th century. A study of these debates allow us to see how British science of this period began to cast loose some of its earlier theological supports but still relied on a moral framework to affirm its distinctive method ethos and cultural value.
