The first one is the Husserlian phase with the application of the concept of intentionality of consciousness; the second one is the Daseinsanalytic of the Heiddeguerian inspiration phase, followed by the last phase, which is the return to Husserlian thought in his late writings.

Fisher’s contribution to Neo-Darwinian synthesis and the development of several basic concepts of modern statistics, among others, derived from his interest in providing sound grounds to the hypothesis that the reproduction of the ‘well-born’ ought to be encouraged, while individuals “unfit for civilized society” were to be financially and socially discouraged from bearing children. Fisher believed that all striving notwithstanding, all human societies were doomed to decadence and collapse due to purely biological reasons, being eugenics the only approach likely to prevent such sorry fate. In Fisher’s work statistics, evolution theory, genetics and eugenics form one single logical structure, since all of them directly concern a more general problem, i.e., the biological improvement of humankind. Eugenics did not disappear after the end of World War II, but was reframed at least partially as present-day genetics, including clinical genetic counseling.","PeriodicalId":366399,"journal":{"name":"Circumscribere: International Journal for the History of Science","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125182650","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Was this derivation a blunder? To answer this question, we will consider Einstein’s redshift derivations from his first one in 1907 to the 1921 derivation made in his Princeton lectures on relativity. This will enable to see the unfolding of an interdependent network of concepts and heuristic derivations in which previous ideas inform and condition later developments. The resulting derivations and views on coordinates and clocks are in fact not without inconsistencies. However, we can see these difficulties as an aspect of an evolving network understood as a “work in progress”.","PeriodicalId":366399,"journal":{"name":"Circumscribere: International Journal for the History of Science","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123146469","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Para tal abordagem foram adotados alguns principios metodologicos embasados nas tres esferas de analise da Historia da Ciencia – Epistemologica, Historiografica e Contextual. Desses principios optou-se por aprofundar na analise de cunho epistemologico, no que condiz, por exemplo, com a analise interna de documentos/imagens, visando indicar possibilidades das relacoes existentes entre as tecnicas e concepcoes em imagens e texto por meio do conhecimento sobre o mundo natural, focando na organizacao/classificacao dos animais, tendo como ponto inicial alguns animais do grupo de Repteis. Utilizou-se a analise da tecnica artistica empregada nas imagens, mostrando como as representacoes desses animais, na obra de Ulisse Aldrovandi, apresentam riqueza de detalhes anatomicos/morfologicos, tanto externos como internos. E, que esse mesmo padrao se mantem em outras obras do autor que possuem a tematica de representacao de animais, tanto em representacoes em xilogravuras, como em pinturas. Esse tipo de analise comparativa foi realizado nao somente dentro das obras de Aldrovandi, como tambem entre os estudiosos da natureza de seu periodo, com a finalidade de verificar se havia o mesmo rigor de padrao de tecnicas artisticas adotadas entre eles. O resultado obtido, seja por meio do reconhecimento de tecnicas artisticas empregadas nas imagens, seja por meio do reconhecimento que as mesmas podem ser utilizadas como instrumento de organizacao/classificacao dos animais, nos mostra a importância em se considerar a imagem como forma de registro e comunicacao de conhecimentos, tanto da natureza, como das artes, ou seja, considerando a imagem como documento para a da Historia da Ciencia.","PeriodicalId":366399,"journal":{"name":"Circumscribere: International Journal for the History of Science","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132335210","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, some problems make such large databases difficult to manage, as e.g., lack of definite standards, or perhaps even full impossibility to develop any standard at all due to the complexity of the data. This certainly is the case of databases in the humanities, especially in regard to fields in which the aspect of temporality is constitutive. In this paper we discuss models for organization of knowledge, with particular attention to the modern fate of the traditional ‘trees of knowledge’, the emergence of decentered network models and new possibilities that emerged together with the digital humanities. We conclude with some considerations on very recent initiatives to solve the problem posed by temporality in large textual corpora.","PeriodicalId":366399,"journal":{"name":"Circumscribere: International Journal for the History of Science","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124807718","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The HDS comprises articles in four broad categories: biographies (35%), articles on families and genealogy (10%), geographical entries (30%) and articles on thematic contributions (25%). The HDS was published in parallel in each of the three major Swiss national languages German, French, and Italian from 2002 to 2014. Each edition comprises 13 volumes of about 10,000 pages. In 1997, the HDS Board of Trustees decided to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the founding of the Swiss Confederation in 1848 with an internet publication of the HDS, which was simultaneously being published and which will now be augmented by multimedia and linked data (cf. www.hls-dhs-dss.ch). Our contribution describes the complex editorial processes of the whole subject area of mathematics and natural sciences in the HDS—covering about 1,200 biographies and approximately 40 thematic articles—supervised by the author and his working group in the years 1994−2014. As a trained mathematician and historian of science, and as scientific advisor for the HDS’s entire subject area of mathematics and the natural sciences, I wrote this article with the aim of sharing my experiences in representing the history of science in a general historical encyclopedia. The processes described below may perhaps be useful to other natural scientists or proper historians who intend to undertake similar projects.","PeriodicalId":366399,"journal":{"name":"Circumscribere: International Journal for the History of Science","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128378169","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
