The formation of political science was, on both sides of the Atlantic, a project intended to wield the authority of science.
Science, argued the American Jesse Macy, was a method of communal discipline that banished "all liars, blunderers, and all who had a disposition to believe a false report." Finally, method was an important marker of science.
Both in the universities, where political science had to compete with the other new social sciences to gain legitimacy, and in the public arena where their prescriptions had to compete with myriad political voices, objectivity was the clearest warrant of scientific expertise and professionalism.

 Science in The Industrial Revolution   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
It is but a small circle of scholars who have ventured to specify those instances in which “science” made identifiable contributions to the industrial technology of this period, and even such modest claims as these individuals have made have not gone unchallenged by criticism of the use of the word science in this particular context.
The modern definition of science is the one which demands algebraic formulae offering design parameters and predictions of the performance of industrial techniques and which thereby finds virtually no expression in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth-century industrial technologies.
The case for science in British industry rests heavily upon other Fellows, as well, for the participation of early industrialists in the Royal Society is a major emphasis of the argument by identification.

 HPSC X552 3064 MODERN PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCE   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
This course will trace the historical development of the philosophy of science from approximately 1800 to the early twentieth century, beginning with the philosophy of Newtonian science developed by Immanuel Kant and ending with works by members of the Vienna Circle.
Then, around the turn of the century, philosophy of science is stimulated once again by revolutionary developments: Einstein relativity theory, on the one hand, and new work in logic and the foundations of mathematics by Gottlob Frege, Bertrand Russell, and David Hilbert, on the other.
Now philosophy of science is pursued more by professional philosophers-and, in particular by Karl Popper and the so-called Vienna Circle of logical positivists represented especially by Moritz Schlick, Otto Neurath and Rudolph Carnap.

 Daniel Traister's Home Page--SCIENCE & LITERATURE (1500-1800) -- SYLLABUS
By 1800, the sun had replaced the earth at the center of a limited "universe" situated in infinite space.
The natural philosophy of 1500 had become the science of 1800, with its several disciplines, departments, and divisions.
Propagandists for the new science often represented its achievements by way of comparison with the achievements of ancient and medieval science and thus constructed a rudimentary narrative of "progress." Moderns were not only better than ancients, but they also built on the accomplishments of the ancients.

 Instruments for Science, 1800-1914: Scientific Trade Catalogs in Smithsonian Collections
There has been a slow but growing interest in seeing history "in the round." Science is increasingly seen as a collective endeavor of many communities, with instrument makers emerging as an important part of this process.
There has also been a growing appreciation of the role of national, cultural and economic forces in the growth of science and these too are reflected in the activities of scientific instrument makers.
Finally, nineteenth century science was characterized by more national differences than in later periods, and national differences are certainly evident in these catalogs.

Language is always changing, and that is true of the language of earth science.
As our knowledge has expanded, the term "geology" has come to be used in a more narrow sense to mean the study of rocks, and the term "earth science" to designate all the disciplines, including geology, that involve study of the Earth.
You will probably notice in these pages, and in the language of earth science in general, that the term "geology" is sometimes used in its broad sense as a synonym for "earth science" and sometimes in its narrow sense to mean the study of rocks.
