摘要

维多利亚时代的化学和政治理论都是围绕着一个基本的分析单位建立起来的:对前者来说，它是原子，对后者来说，它是个人。因为后一种结构实际上是两者中更强大的，维多利亚时代的化学家利用艺术和文学的资源赋予原子个性，而文学作家利用化学来暗示个人的范畴可能只不过是自由理论的虚构。

Atomic Individuals

Victorian chemistry and Victorian political theory are both constructed around a foundational analytic unit: for the former, it is the atom, and for the latter, the individual. Because the latter construct was actually the more robust of the two, Victorian chemists used the resources of art and literature to lend individuality to atoms, while literary writers used chemistry to suggest that the category of the individual might be no more than a fiction of liberal theory.
