THE PERSONALITY OF HENRY CAVENDISH - A GREAT SCIENTIST WITH
EXTRAORDINARY PECULIARITIES
/ MCCORMMACH, RUSSELL
: 2014
ABSTRACT / INHALTSTEXT
PROFILES THE EMINENT 18TH CENTURY NATURAL PHILOSOPHER HENRY CAVENDISH,
BEST KNOWN FOR HIS WORK IN CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS AND ONE OF THE MOST
BAFFLING PERSONALITIES IN THE HISTORY OF SCIENCE. IN THESE CHAPTERS WE
ARE INTRODUCED TO THE PSYCHOLOGY OF SCIENCE AND OF SCIENTISTS AND WE
LEARN ABOUT CAVENDISH’S LIFE AND TIMES. HIS PERSONALITY IS EXAMINED
FROM TWO PERSPECTIVES: ONE IS THAT HE HAD A LESS SEVERE FORM OF AUTISM,
AS HAS BEEN CLAIMED; THE OTHER IS THAT HE WAS ECCENTRIC AND A
PSYCHOLOGICAL DISORDER WAS ABSENT. HENRY CAVENDISH LIVED A LIFE OF
SCIENCE, POSSIBLY MORE COMPLETELY THAN ANY OTHER FIGURE IN THE HISTORY
OF SCIENCE: A WEALTHY ARISTOCRAT, HE BECAME A DEDICATED SCIENTIST. THIS
STUDY BRINGS NEW INFORMATION AND A NEW PERSPECTIVE TO OUR UNDERSTANDING
OF THE MAN. THE SCIENTIFIC AND NON-SCIENTIFIC SIDES OF HIS LIFE ARE
BROUGHT CLOSER TOGETHER, AS THE AUTHOR TRACES TOPICS INCLUDING HIS
APPEARANCE, SPEECH, WEALTH, RELIGION AND DEATH AS WELL AS CAVENDISH’S
LIFE OF NATURAL PHILOSOPHY WHERE OBJECTIVITY AND ACCURACY, WRITING AND
RECOGNITION ALL PLAYED A PART. THE AUTHOR TRACES ASPECTS OF
CAVENDISH’S PERSONALITY, VIEWS AND INTERPRETATIONS OF HIM, AND
EXPLORES NOTIONS OF ECCENTRICITY AND AUTISM BEFORE DETAILING RELEVANT
ASPECTS OF THE TRAVELS MADE BY OUR SUBJECT. THE AUTHOR CONSIDERS THE
QUESTION “HOW DO WE TALK ABOUT CAVENDISH?” AND PROVIDES A USEFUL
SUMMARY OF CAVENDISH’S TRAVELS. THIS BOOK WILL APPEAL TO A WIDE
AUDIENCE, FROM THOSE INTERESTED IN 18TH CENTURY HISTORY OR HISTORY OF
SCIENCE, TO THOSE INTERESTED IN INCIDENCES OF AUTISM IN PROMINENT
FIGURES FROM HISTORY. THIS VOLUME CONTAINS AMPLE RELEVANT ILLUSTRATIONS,
SEVERAL INTERESTING APPENDICES AND IT INCLUDES A USEFUL INDEX AND
BIBLIOGRAPHY.
