The romantic  concept of knowledge was decidedly unitary, but, in the period between  1790 and 1840, the special emphasis it placed on observation and  research led to an unprecedented accumulation of data, accompanied by  a rapid growth in scientific specialization. An example of the  tensions created by this development is to be found in the scientists'  congresses which attempted a first response to the fragmentation of  scientific research.\u003cbr\u003e  The problem concerning the unitary concept of knowledge in that  period, and the new views of the world which were generated are the  subject of this book. The articles it contains are all based on  original research by an international group of highly specialized  scholars. Their research probes a wide range of issues, from the heirs  of \u003cem\u003eNaturphilosophie\u003c\/em\u003e, to the `life sciences', and to the debate  on `Baconian Sciences', as well as examining many aspects of  mathematics, physics and chemistry. History of philosophy and history  of science scholars will find this book an essential reference work,  as well as all those interested in 19th century history in general.  Undergraduate and graduate students will also find here angles and  topics that have hitherto been largely neglected.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1994-01-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792323365\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-017-2921-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 234cm x156cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 256\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45378513305740,"sku":"9780792323365","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792323365.jpg?v=1772024398","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792323365","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
