SUMMARY:Joan Richards - Images of Mind: Reason\, Logic and the Divine in Victorian England - NY HoS Series
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Joan Richards\, Professor of History\, Brown University \nAs Professor of Mathematics at University College London [UCL]\, Augustus De Morgan was a leader in England’s move towards becoming a secular society. UCL welcomed students independent of their religious commitments. At UCL\, religion became a private concern\, to be pursued at home; in the public world of the university\, knowledge was to be pursued independent of religious convictions. Maintaining this division required absolutely fundamental adjustments in the views of knowledge of a world that heretofore had pursued all of knowledge as part of a unified religious whole \nDe Morgan kept his religious musings so private that even his wife could not characterize them\, but his archive contains traces of his private thinkings. Notable among these is a series of logical diagrams\, which he created for himself in the midst of his logical researches. Approaching De Morgan’s logical thinking through these private diagrams is a way to move beyond the public world of his written work into the world of transcendent insight that grounded his logical investigations. Their odd perspectives and wordless symmetries point to a transcendent and holy space that for decades grounded De Morgan’s logical explorations. \nThis event is free and open to the public.\nThis event is part of the New York History of Science Lecture Series. \nSponsoring Organizations:\nNew York University\nGallatin School of Individualized Study\nColumbia University in the City of New York\nCity University of New York\nThe New York Academy of Sciences
