Descripción
Sumario:This is the first academic biography of the scientist and politician Jacob Moleschott (1822-1893). Based on a vast range of primary sources in German, Italian, Dutch, French, and Latin, it not only sheds new light on the history of materialism in the natural sciences, but also shows the deep entanglement of science, politics, and popularization in 19th-century Europe. Applying new methods from cultural history and the history of science, Laura Meneghello focuses on processes of knowledge circulation, transnational mobility, and the role of translation in 19th-century science.
»Meneghello provides an important contribution to the understanding of the interaction of biology and politics in the nineteenth century.« Florence Vienne, Metascience, 28 (2019) »Der Autorin [gelingt es] ein reiches und umfassendes Bild Moleschotts als Teil der Wissenschaftslandschaft seiner Zeit zwischen nationaler Sendung und internationalem Selbstverständnis zu zeichnen.« Carolin Kosuch, Quellen und Forschungen aus italienischen Archiven und Bibliotheken, 98 (2018/19) »A worthy successor to Frederick Gregorys landmark study of 1977 and a fine exemplar of the insight afforded by scientific biography.« Gabriel Finkelstein, ISIS, 109/4 (2018) »Meneghello hat mit ihrer Moleschott-Biographie ein Desiderat geschlossen, das spannende transnationale Perspektiven hinsichtlich der Rolle, die (Populär-)Wissenschaft im Prozess des europäischen ›nation-building‹ spielte, aufzeigt.« Claus Spenninger, Berichte zur Wissenschaftsgeschichte 41/3 (2018) Reviewed in: de Nederlandse Boekengids, 4/2 (2019), Ad Maas
