William Whewell was a giant of Victorian intellectual culture. His
influence, whether recognized or forgotten, is palpable in areas as
diverse as moral philosophy, mineralogy, architecture, the politics
of education, physics, engineering, and theology. Recent studies of
the place of the sciences in nineteenth-century Britain have
repeatedly indicated the significance of Whewell's sweeping and
critical proposals for a reformed account of scientific knowledge
and moral values. However, until now there has been no detailed
study of the context and impact of his project. This collection of
essays by recognized authorities in the fields of history, history
of science, and philosophy thus represents the first attempt to do
justice to a magisterial nineteenth-century intellectual. More
generally, it makes an important contribution to our understanding
of Victorian intellectual life and its aftermath.
