Abstract:

In early life, the philosopher, theologian and scientist Robert Boyle (1627–1691) wrote extensively on moral matters. One of the extant early documents written in Boyle's hand deals with the morality of our treatment of non-human animals. In this piece (probably written about 1647) Boyle offered a number of arguments for extending moral concern to non-human animals. Since the later Boyle routinely vivisected or otherwise killed animals in his scientific experiments, we are left with the biographical questions, did his views change, and if so, why? as well as with the philosophical questions, what were his arguments and how good are they?

Abstract:

Privilege brings obligations – noblesse oblige. Boyle came from a deeply privileged background. If we are to locate him through twentieth-century eyes in order to rediscover his psychic space, then this background needs to be borne in mind. It was a constant shaping force for him. Twentieth-century eyes mean a new perspective. As Eliot wrote of Pascal, Boyle's contemporary, ‘every generation sees preceding ones differently. Pascal is one of those writers who will be, and who must be, studied afresh by men in every generation. It is not he who changes, but we who change. It is not our knowledge of him that increases, but our world that alters and our attitudes towards it’ – and so it is with Boyle.Boyle's childhood was beset by tragedy. From a psychological point of view, there can be fewer worse tragedies than the premature loss of a mother. His mother died of consumption when he was three. She was forty-two and he was her fourteenth and penultimate child. It seems clear that this early loss haunted him for the rest of his life, its unconscious effect always there. At some level he may have felt partly responsible for her death – that his birth had helped to wear her out, to finish her off, to consume her. It would seem that he missed out on mourning in the conventional sense, or rather in the sense that Freud emphasized as being all-important in his paper ‘Mourning and Melancholia’. Boyle did use, in his autobiographical writing as ‘Philaretus’, the word ‘disaster’ to describe this early tragedy, and it is a powerful enough word in the context. But what happened to his grief ? Was it worked through? Was it lived with? Or was it just sublimated into his work, his wide range of preoccupations? Was it something that remained as a constant, underlying refrain in his life, that he needed to defend himself against?

Abstract:

Dissertação apresentada para cumprimento dos requisitos necessários à obtenção do grau de Mestre em Filosofia Geral
É bem sabido que Robert Boyle (1627-91) foi um dos principais divulgadores da filosofia mecânica na segunda metade do século XVII. O que não se conhece tão bem é a defesa que faz das causas finais, numa obra intitulada A Disquisition About the Final Causes of Natural Things, na qual afirma que a causa final é um recurso valioso para a metafísica e para a física, procurando contrariar, assim, a tendência de alguns filósofos seus contemporâneos para a expulsão das causas finais dos sistemas explicativos da natureza. Este estudo visa a determinação do papel da causa final no mecanicismo de Boyle. Para isso, são identificados dois sentidos em que se pode considerar o mecanicismo de Boyle, um, de cariz ontológico ou metafísico, e o outro, de ordem física, para depois se avaliar a importância da causa final, a partir dos elementos recolhidos em Final Causes.

Abstract:

This thesis attempts to describe the similarities and the differences between Boyle's position and Locke's on the primary and secondary quality distinction.
It is in the Corpuscular Hypothesis that Boyle draws the distinction between primary and secondary qualities. Locke not only accepts the Corpuscular Hypothesis but also presents some arguments to support it.
Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 respectively examine the differences in the positions of Boyle and Locke on primary and secondary qualities, in their lists of primary qualities, the terminologies they employ, and the scopes of their discussions. Little attention has previously been paid to these differences.
Chapter 3 discusses the essence of the primary/secondary quality distinction. My point is that the distinction between primary and secondary qualities is really a distinction between two kinds of powers for both Boyle and Locke.

Abstract:

This thesis aims to contextualise the disorder characteristic of Boyle's works at all stages of the compositional process, in terms of seventeenth-century discussions about structuring knowledge. This disorder is discussed by Boyle, his contemporaries and later scholars, but has previously been insufficiently understood in terms of his intellectual project. Chapter one shows that seventeenth-century models present correct ordering as determining the epistemological status of information. In particular, it is understood as the means of moving from 'historical' collections of factual data (including experimental results) to 'philosophical' knowledge. Disorderly works are inevitable in the intermediate stages of a progress from piecemeal, preparatory, probable natural history to natural philosophy. Chapter two opens my exploration of the material processes of Boyle's knowledge creation, by examining Boyle's manuscripts for evidence of his aspirations to and achievement of the systematic redistribution of factual data. His methods are contextualised via the stipulations of the commonplace method, and the practices of his contemporaries. Chapter three investigates the structures of Boyle'S published works (particularly his collections of essays), exploring his development of printed modes which resist characterisation as stable and complete. Boyle's piecemeal publications are situated in relation to those of his contemporaries, and especially the early Philosophical Transactions. Chapter four considers Boyle's prefatory representation of the disorder of his works in print, which emphasises the apparent failure of his work to conform to literary and philosophical expectations. Boyle presents his literary failings as rhetorically appropriate, however, given his subject matter and audience. The disorder of Boyle's works has been criticised from his own time on. Reevaluating their distinctive fragmentation in the light of the seventeenth-century understanding of the significance of the organisation of natural knowledge, my thesis suggests that their arrangement reflects, and constitutes, their intellectual scope. In their provisional forms, Boyle's experimental texts embody the intermediate epistemological status of their content

Full text

Abstract:

The thesis presents an intellectual history of air. It investigates a critical period when the concept of air changed from being an all pervasive 'element' within a predominantly Aristotelian cosmology, to an 'ocean', or a fluid and particulate body with mass and weight. The thesis is set in the context of the seventeenth-century revolution in science in England and is focused on the pneumatic work of Robert Boyle. The question behind the thesis is raised by a specific experiment published by Boyle in 1672 when he describes how he tried, and failed, to produce gnats in a flask that had been evacuated of air by his air-pump. The historical aspect of the thesis examines the development of the vacuum, a new and revolutionary experimental site, in tandem with the equally revolutionary developments in physiology. The philosophical aspect of the thesis examines the conceptual ideas being played out in the Gnat Experiment and the relation between natural philosophy and theology. In terms of its empirical method the experiment was emblematic of the new science being developed by Boyle. The ambition behind the experiment, however, and Boyle's disappointment at its failure, engages another level of enquiry. Of particular interest is the problem of 'thinking matter' and the conflicts it provoked in relation to discussions of air and the vacuum, life and soul. Though reignited by Descartes, the discussion can be traced back to the early theories of air in Presocratic philosophy and the development of the 'pneumatic tradition' through later Socratic and Stoic philosophy, as well as Christian theology, in the guise of pneuma. It becomes apparent that Boyle's 'air' engages a complex field of concepts and arguments that can be traced back to the beginnings of philosophy and science, and that are still burning.

Abstract:

This dissertation looks at the life and work of famed English Aristocrat Robert Boyle. Specifically, I examine his treatment of generation and its organizing forces—seminal principles, plastic powers, and petrifick spirits. Generation, I argue, provided the context by which Boyle was introduced both to chymistry and anatomy. The problem of generation would remain at the forefront of his concerns as he experimented in chymistry, pneumatics, minerals, anatomy, transmutation, and plants. Looking at the various communities in Europe with which Robert Boyle interacted, I show that the mechanical philosophy was actually quite diverse. As one of the most influential scholars of his time, Boyle presents a distinctly mechanical account of generation that would have a profound effect upon Western science.

Resumo: O objetivo dessa tese é analisar a filosofia mecânica de Robert Boyle, visando mostrar a compatibilidade entre o seu pensamento químico e mecanicista. Apesar de não poder ser provada por experimentos alquímicos, a filosofia mecânica de Boyle é corroborada por eles e os mesmos tiveram grande importância na refutação das formas substanciais e qualidades reais da escolástica. Os experimentos alquímicos tornam-se importantes na medida em que é necessário elucidar como eles são usados na defesa do mecanicismo boyleano. Visando auxiliar a compreensão dos mesmos, foram analisados aqueles que Boyle julgava mais aptos para esse fim, assim como a tradução química para a correspondente linguagem da química contemporânea
Abstract: The goal of this thesis is to demonstrate that there is no opposition between Robert Boyle's alchemy and mechanicism. Despite the fact that Boyle's mechanical philosophy cannot be proved by alchemical experiments, it is supported theoretically by them and they had great importance in the refutation of the scholastic's substantial forms and real qualities. The alchemical experiments are important since is necessary to elucidate how they were used to defend the boylean mechanicism. In order to better comprehend these experiments, some of them, which Boyle judged to be the most suitable for the task, were selected and chemically translated into modern chemical language

Abstract:

In typical Proton Exchange Membrane fuel cells, a compressed gasket provides a sealing barrier between cell and cooler bipolar plate interfaces. The gasket initially bears the entire bolt load, and its resisting reaction load depends on the cross-sectional shape of the gasket, bipolar plate’s groove depth, and the hyperelastic properties of the gasket material. A nonlinear, finite element analysis (FEA) model with various hyperelastic material models, large deformations, and contact was used to evaluate the load-gap curves. The deformed shapes and the distributions of stress, strain, and deflections are presented. Mooney-Rivlin and Arruda-Boyce hyperelastic material models were used, and a comparison of load-gap curves is shown. A process is presented that couples the computer-aided design geometry with the nonlinear FEA model that was used to determine the gasket’s cross-sectional shape, which achieves the desired reaction load for a given gap.
