  • Dossier Pierre Duhem Pierre Duhem's Philosophy and History of Science
    Transversal: International Journal for the Historiography of Science , 2 (201 7) 03 -06 ISSN 2526 -2270 www.historiographyofscience.org © The Author s 201 7 — This is an open access article Dossier Pierre Duhem Pierre Duhem’s Philos ophy and History of Science Introduction Fábio Rodrigo Leite 1 Jean-François Stoffel 2 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.24117/2526-2270.2017.i2.02 _____________________________________________________________________________ We are pleased to present in this issue a tribute to the thought of Pierre Duhem, on the occasion of the centenary of his death that occurred in 2016. Among articles and book reviews, the dossier contains 14 contributions of scholars from different places across the world, from Europe (Belgium, Greece, Italy, Portugal and Sweden) to the Americas (Brazil, Canada, Mexico and the United States). And this is something that attests to the increasing scope of influence exerted by the French physicist, philosopher and 3 historian. It is quite true that since his passing, Duhem has been remembered in the writings of many of those who knew him directly. However, with very few exceptions (Manville et al. 1927), the comments devoted to him exhibited clear biographical and hagiographic characteristics of a generalist nature (see Jordan 1917; Picard 1921; Mentré 1922a; 1922b; Humbert 1932; Pierre-Duhem 1936; Ocagne et al. 1937). From the 1950s onwards, when the studies on his philosophical work resumed, the thought of the Professor from Bordeaux acquired an irrevocable importance, so that references to La théorie physique: Son objet et sa structure became a common place in the literature of the area. As we know, this recovery was a consequence of the prominence attributed, firstly, to the notorious Duhem-Quine thesis in the English- speaking world, and secondly to the sparse and biased comments made by Popper that generated an avalanche of revaluations of the Popperian “instrumentalist interpretation”.

  • Vito Volterra and the Making of Research Institutions in Italy and Abroad*
    Vito Volterra and the Making of Research Institutions in Italy and Abroad* Giovanni Paoloni† [email protected] ABSTRACT The great mathematician Vito Volterra was a notable figure who had a significant public profile in the early years of the twentieth century.1 He made an important contribution to political debate and, in particular, to what would become defined as science policy. Volterra’s scientific inter- ests were not limited only to mathematics and mathematical physics, but also gave impetus to research in the spheres of oceanography and mete- orology. Volterra’s career path, characterised by the prominence of the mathematician in the international scientific community, finally reconsti- tuted itself into the position that he assumed toward the fascist regime in Italy. It was the very international acknowledgement of Volterra that caused resentment in Mussolini, toward whose regime Volterra main- tained a strenuous opposition — resulting in the ostracism he was sub- jected to in his own country until his death. Vito Volterra is generally considered one of the greatest mathematicians of his time: «His most important contributions» according to the Dictionary of Scientific Biography «were in higher analysis, mathematical physics, celestial mechanics, the mathematical theory of elasticity and mathematical biometrics. His major works in these fields included the foundation of the theory of func- tionals and the solution of the type of integral equations with variable limits that now bear his name, methods of integrating hyperbolic partial differential equations, the study of hereditary phenomena, optics of birifrangent media, * This paper was presented and discussed in the «Tuesday Lunchtime Colloqium» held in Boston, Dibner Institute for the History of Science and Technology, on March 7th, 2006; it partially appeared in Paoloni & Simili (2008).

  • Physics in Pisa in the First Half of the XX Century: a Reappraisal
    Physics in Pisa in the first half of the XX century: a reappraisal Paolo Rossi ‒ Dipartimento di Fisica “E. Fermi” dell’Università di Pisa and Cen- tro Fermi ‒ Museo Storico della Fisica e Centro Studi e Ricerche “Enrico Fermi”, Roma ‒ [email protected] Abstract: In the first half of the XX century Physics in Pisa was character- ized by the strong personalities of the two full professors of Experimental Physics who kept in turn the (only) chair in the Institute, directed by Battelli from 1893 to 1916 and by Puccianti from 1917 to 1947. Both were ingen- ious and expert experimentalists, but both showed only limited interest to- wards the most recent developments of theoretical physics. As a consequence, while being undoubtedly able to form new generations of well trained and high quality scientists (from Occhialini père, Perucca and Brunetti to Polvani, Ronchi, Carrara, Bolla, Bernardini, G. Gentile jr, Budinich, Borsellino, Gozzini, Verde and Castagnoli, not to mention Fermi and Rasetti), they never really favored the birth of a local school of Theoret- ical Physics, thus opening a hiatus in the local culture, to be filled (with some pain) only in the second half of the century. Keywords: Physics, Pisa, Battelli, Puccianti, XX century. 1. The direction of Battelli (1893-1916) At the beginning of the XXth century, Pisa was one of the main Italian seats for the study of physics. In the fundamental study of B.J. Reeves, Pisa is, together with Rome, Padua and Turin, one of the few locations to which a whole specific and detailed chapter is ded- icated (Reeves 1980).

  • Giuseppe Paolo Stanislao Occhialini: a Cosmopolitan Scientist
    The Global and the Local: The History of Science and the Cultural Integration of Europe. nd Proceedings of the 2 ICESHS (Cracow, Poland, September 6–9, 2006) / Ed. by M. Kokowski. Pasquale Tucci, Leonardo Gariboldi * Giuseppe Paolo Stanislao Occhialini: A cosmopolitan scientist (1) Introduction In this communication we will try to elucidate the topics of this Conference: ―The Global and the Local‖, through the illustration of some aspects of the life of G. P. Occhialini, a Italian physicist who worked in England, in Brasil in Belgium and spent several months at foreign scientific institutions. At the same time he continued to entertain with his country and with his family, above all the father, a influent professor of physics at the Genoa University, strong personal and institutional connections which were fundamental for his scientific career. Giuseppe (―Beppo‖) P. S. Occhialini (1907–1993) was born in Fossombrone (Pesaro Province, Italy) on December 5th, 1907, son of Raffaele Augusto Occhialini (1878–1951), a physicist, and Etra Grossi. He studied physics at the University of Florence from 1927 on. At the Institute of Physics in Arcetri just in 1927 had arrived Bruno Rossi and in 1928 Gilberto Bernardini arrived. Bruno Rossi directed the research of the Arcetri group towards this new direction. At this time, he invented ―Rossi‘s circuit‖ that allowed to detect the simultaneous discharge of several counters (multiple coincidences). According to Occhialini, the Geiger-Müller counter was like the Colt in the Far West: a cheap instrument usable by everyone on one‘s way through a hard frontier. Besides working with Rossi with counter-coincidence circuits, Occhialini was already interested in imaging particle detectors.
