British physicist John Tyndall dedicated much of his career to
establishing the scientist as a cultural authority. His campaign to
free science from the restraints of theology caused a national
uproar, and in his popular books and lectures he promoted
scientific education for all classes. Though he was often labeled a
materialist, religion played a large role in Tyndall's vision of
science, which drew on Carlyle and Emerson as well as his mentor
Michael Faraday. Tyndall's ideas influenced the development of
modern science, and in his efforts to create an authoritative role
for scientists in society, he played a pivotal role in Victorian
history.
