| Beschreibung: | Includes bibliographical references (pages 285-315) and index The narrative of scientific epistemology -- Dying to know Descartes -- Carlyle, Descartes, and objectivity : lessen thy denominator -- Autobiography as epistemology : the effacement of self -- My life as a machine : Francis Galton, with some reflections on A.R. Wallace -- Self-effacement revisited : women and scientific autobiography -- The test of truth : Our Mutual Friend -- Daniel Deronda : a new epistemology -- The Cartesian Hardy : I think, therefore I'm doomed -- Daring to know : Karl Pearson and the romance of science -- The epistemology of science and art : Pearson and Pater "Levine shows that for nineteenth-century scientists, novelists, poets, and philosophers, access to the truth depended on conditions of such profound self-abnegation that pursuit of it might be taken as tantamount to the pursuit of death. The Victorians, he argues, were dying to know in the sense that they could imagine achieving pure knowledge only in a condition where the body ceases to make its claims: to achieve enlightenment, virtue, and salvation, one must die."--Jacket |

Wallace -- Self-effacement revisited : women and scientific autobiography -- The test of truth : Our Mutual Friend -- Daniel Deronda : a new epistemology -- The Cartesian Hardy : I think, therefore I'm doomed -- Daring to know : Karl Pearson and the romance of science -- The epistemology of science and art : Pearson and Pater "Levine shows that for nineteenth-century scientists, novelists, poets, and philosophers, access to the truth depended on conditions of such profound self-abnegation that pursuit of it might be taken as tantamount to the pursuit of death. The Victorians, he argues, were dying to know in the sense that they could imagine achieving pure knowledge only in a condition where the body ceases to make its claims: to achieve enlightenment, virtue, and salvation, one must die."--Jacket Descartes, René / 1596-1650 fast Descartes, René 1596-1650 Influence 1800 - 1899 fast Geschichte 1800-1900 Geschichte 1832-1902 gnd rswk-swf Science LITERARY CRITICISM / European / English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh bisacsh English prose literature fast Influence (Literary, artistic, etc.) fast Knowledge, Theory of, in literature fast Literature and science fast Narration (Rhetoric) fast Science in literature fast Science / Philosophy fast Wetenschap gtt Kennistheorie gtt Letterkunde gtt Engels gtt Englisch Erkenntnistheorie Geschichte Literatur Naturwissenschaft Philosophie Wissenschaft English prose literature 19th century History and criticism Literature and science Great Britain History 19th century Narration (Rhetoric) History 19th century Knowledge, Theory of, in literature Science in literature Science Philosophy Erkenntnistheorie (DE-588)4070914-0 gnd rswk-swf Englisch (DE-588)4014777-0 gnd rswk-swf Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 gnd rswk-swf Großbritannien Großbritannien (DE-588)4022153-2 gnd rswk-swf Englisch (DE-588)4014777-0 s Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 s Erkenntnistheorie (DE-588)4070914-0 s Geschichte 1832-1902 z 1\p DE-604 Großbritannien (DE-588)4022153-2 g 2\p DE-604 http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=347501 Aggregator Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
