Three main phases of development are critically re-examined, covering the historical period from the 1760s to the 1860s: the Chemical Revolution (through which water first became recognized as a compound, not an element), early electrochemistry (by which water's compound nature was confirmed), and early atomic chemistry (in which water started out as HO and became H\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003eO). In each case, the author concludes that the empirical evidence available at the time was not decisive in settling the central debates, and therefore the consensus that was reached was unjustified, or at least premature. This leads to a significant re-examination of the realism question in the philosophy of science, and a unique new advocacy for pluralism in science. Each chapter contains three layers, allowing readers to follow various parts of the book at their chosen level of depth and detail. The second major study in complementary science, this book offers a rare combination of philosophy, history and science in a bid to improve scientific knowledge through history and philosophy of science.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50108652618001,"sku":"CIN0226114619G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0226114619.jpg?v=1750695566"},{"product_id":"chicago-school-of-architecture-book-carl-w-condit-9780226114545","title":"Chicago School of Architecture","description":"An illustrated study of the history of the Chicago School of Architecture from its beginnings with the functional innovations of William Le Baron Jenney and others, to their imaginative development by Louis Sullivan and Frank Lloyd Wright.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50145104167185,"sku":"CIN0226114546G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0226114546.jpg?v=1751005209"},{"product_id":"american-building-book-carl-w-condit-9780226114538","title":"American Building","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom his correspondence with Descartes in the 1640s to his discussions with Isaac Newton in the 1680s, Henry More (1614-1687) was a central figure in seventeenth-century philosophy. Notwithstanding his occasional portrayal as a rather eccentric anachronism, excessively wedded to the Neoplatonism of the past, the fact is that he was involved in some of the most cutting-edge debates of the day, and engaged with most of the giants of that great age of geniuses. The present work takes More seriously as a subtle and systematic early-modern metaphysician. It explores his ideas in relation to those of his contemporaries, both friends and foes, while also taking care not to neglect his Neoplatonic heritage; but it also reveals just how original a thinker he was in his own right. Topics include More's evolving conception of Hyle (or first matter); his account of the physical world, a world of atoms without void; his theory of immaterial extension, and the divine real space that underlay this world; his attitude to mechanical explanations in physics, and his preferred theory of the Spirit of Nature; his developing attitude to the notion of living matter; and his views on the life of the human soul, before as well as after its union with the human body.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50262691381521,"sku":"CIN0226114538A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50346825646353,"sku":"CIN0226114538G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51180690833681,"sku":"CIN0226114538VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/B000FAGFHC.jpg?v=1751133143"},{"product_id":"chicago-book-carl-w-condit-9780226114569","title":"Chicago","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51334170673425,"sku":"CIN0226114562G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0226114562.jpg?v=1751133144"},{"product_id":"pioneer-stage-of-railroad-electrification-book-carl-w-condit-9781422375150","title":"Pioneer Stage of Railroad Electrification","description":"This is a print on demand edition of an issue of a journal from a prestigious organization.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53252015587601,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53252016210193,"sku":"NIN9781422375150","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781422375150.jpg?v=1773595001"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-carl-w-condit.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
