Description: A review of the book by Martin Rudwick about this 19th century geological controversy.
The Great Devonian Controversy, by Martin J. S. Rudwick The Great Devonian Controversy: The Shaping of Scientific Knowledge among Gentlemanly Specialists University of Chicago Press, 1985 is a monumental achievement and a classic in the philosophy and history of science. As a case study of one of the watershed moments in the history of geology, it is not only great history, but it is also a test case for theories about the nature of scientific knowledge. It is also well written, engaging, and fascinating as a narrative and a detective story, based on a great mass of material, including letters sometimes written on a daily basis between the principals of the dispute.
