Indukcje i przepływy. Michael Faraday – mikrostudium o romantycznej nauce
Journal Title: Wiek XIX. Rocznik Towarzystwa Literackiego im. Adama Mickiewicza - Year 2015, Vol 0, Issue
Abstract
Phenomena and social practices, which create what we call the “civlisation of Romanticism”, appear to be a very strong creative factor. Was it not but new poetic language that enabled formulating new questions, completely impossible even-to-think-about half a century earlier? The breakthrough between eighteenth and nineteenth century opened a new imaginarium also in the world of sciences, and a new scientific language emerged. We treat it as one of the dimensions of civilisation of Romanticism. If one media important for this civilisation was the word (esp. poetic word) – we are allowed to consider the following question: to what extent has this appeared to be a source for natural science – its paradigm and language? The text refers to the chosen aspects of Michael Faraday’s works as the example of modern science’s deep roots in Romanticism.
