William Whewell’s resting place in Trinity college chapel, and his crest on the gatehouse timber roof he constructed. Coiner of the terms “scientist”, “physicist”, and “linguistics”

Very excited to have a chapter published on architecture in Lukas Verburgt’s edited volume on Cambridge polymath William Whewell. A domineering cover, worthy of the Master of Trinity himself!

The impressive span of Speyer Cathedral’s nave, which Whewell thought the greatest of any German Romanesque cathedral. The limits of round-arch vaulting

Built in sections between 1248–1560 and
1842-80, Whewell would have seen construction resume on his return to Cologne Cathedral in the 1840s. Currently the world’s third tallest church

Thanks @UCL_BSSC and @PaulMellonCentr - can’t wait to complete this project on the nineteenth-century study of medieval gothic construction.

In 1832, William Whewell (coiner of the word “scientist”) was arrested at Norrey Church, Normandy. His intensive architectural note-taking had panicked locals into calling out the national guard, fearing he was a spy

This is my attempt to introduce the origin of the #scientist as a socially recognized role to the Chinese, based on their own inspired idea that William #Whewell might be a godfather of #SocialEpistemology

Chapter 3 examines how Kant influenced William #Whewell, who selectively drew from Kant to develop an account of science (#consilience) that #theologised #nature. Whewell was very important for the development of science, especially the idea of the #unityofscience. 4/10
Scientist. Right now, William Whewell is turning in his grave…

The view of St Denis from this angle has changed a fair bit since 1823. The spire was struck by lightning in 1837, rebuilt, then collapsed in 1845. Amazing drawn record by #Whewell, held at the brilliant archives of @TrinCollCam @TrinCollLibCam #architecture #gothic #drawing #art
#Whewell was an odd bird by modern lights. A philosopher of science who could hold his own against Mill and Herschel, an inveterate neo-Kantian, and an Anglican priest who considered our redemption via Christ’s crucifixion to be proof of the impossibility of extraterrestrial life
May 24, 1794, birthday of philosopher and historian of science William Whewell, coined many concepts in #geology - like catastrophism & uniformitarianism - and was especially interested in #mineralogy - Whewellite was named in his honor 💎 https://t.co/DxoPfy22yO
We go a long way for historical accuracy… have now accidentally called @dbelteki “Airy” twice…it started as a joke between Professor “Sedgwick” @CarolynKennett and myself, who’s been left with the role of Whewell. Will take that.
