Thanks for pointing me ...Nice to see you back too!<br /><br />Thanks for pointing me towards thonyc's post on the SSR, which reminds me that there are not only multiple versions of the SSR of c. 1760-1830 but also later versions of the SSR, including at least two versions (Stephen Brush and Everett Mendelsohn) that treat it more or less as a synonym for nineteenth-century science (though Brush's SSR goes up to 1950!). thonyc's post is about the 19th-century version.<br /><br />For anyone looking for an entry into the literature on this, I can recommend chapter 6 of I. B. Cohen's 'Revolution in Science.'<br /><br />Of course there were important developments in the decades around 1800 that don't fit into the picture I give in the above post, notably the study of the remote pre-human past of the earth by geologists (the 'deep time' to which thonyc refers) and the rise of physical astronomy in the work of William Herschel. There's no such thing as a truly unified theory in history, but there are more or less unified theories in history, and the existing theories of the SSR are certainly in need of reconciliation.Michael Bycrofthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11357752389960585219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8484469243105805372.post-56727546227484136772016-08-10T14:28:33.243-07:002016-08-10T14:28:33.243-07:00Nice to see you back on the blog!
While I've ...Nice to see you back on the blog!<br /><br />While I've picked up bits and pieces over the years on this or that facet of the SSR (the chemical revolution, Faraday's work, energy and thermodynamics), I haven't read much about the SSR <em>per se</em>; all I can recall off-hand is <a href="https://thonyc.wordpress.com/2010/12/14/the-2nd-scientific-revolution/" rel="nofollow">this post</a> at Renaissance Mathematicus.
