Practical Educationists: And Their Systems of Teaching
[The aim of this chapter is to analyze Tyndall’s conception of the role that science and scientists should play in society, once freed from the restraints of theology; it uses as a means for doing so his participation in the debates over scientific education. The promotion of science in education was a cause to which Tyndall devoted a great deal of his time, and it was arguably the arena in which his vision of how science should influence society gained its clearest expression. If Tyndall shaped the definition and boundaries of his idea of science in the context of his fight against the constraints of theology, with the campaign for scientific education he established his vision for what science should do in society and how it should be implemented, as well as how its practitioners should be trained and where their place should be in a society thoroughly inculcated with science.]
