<span>Henry Cavendish (1731-1810) fue un científico inglés que contribuyó en forma notable a la física y a la química. Sus trabajos sobre el gas inflamable (hidrógeno) llevaron al descubrimiento de la composición del agua y con ello a la caída de la teoría del flogisto. Cavendish midió la densidad de varios gases con alta precisión y desarrolló los conceptos de calor específico y entalpía sin establecerlos en términos matemáticos. Es también muy conocido por el experimento famoso que lleva su nombre, para determinar la densidad de la Tierra mediante una balanza de torsión. Junto con Coul

Abstract:
Editor's foreward Althouth it is not the usual practice to reprint articles from other journals in Notes and Records , we present here, with permission, a biography of Henry Cavendish that appeared recently in Proceedings of the American Philosophical Society 1 . The article was originally dedicated to Glenn T. Seaborg (1912–1999) and concentrates particularly on Cavendish's work in chemistry. In this biography Frederick Seitz has managed to give a perfect little vignette of the life and work of Henry Cavendish that nevertheless brings out the importance of the man and his work.

Abstract:
Henry Cavendish (1731–1810) was an outstanding chemist and physicist. Although he was not a major figure in the history of respiratory physiology he made important discoveries concerning hydrogen, carbon dioxide, atmospheric air, and water. Hydrogen had been prepared earlier by Boyle but its properties had not been recognized; Cavendish described these in detail, including the density of the gas. Carbon dioxide had also previously been studied by Black, but Cavendish clarified its properties and measured its density. He was the first person to accurately analyze atmospheric air and reported an

Abstract:
Critical theory has historically situated the beginning of the “modern” era of subjectivity near the end of the seventeenth century. Michel Foucault himself once said in an interview that modernity began with the writings of the late seventeenth-century philosopher Benedict Spinoza. But an examination of early modern English utopian literature demonstrates that a modern notion of subjectivity can be found in texts that pre-date Spinoza. In this dissertation, I examine four utopian texts—Thomas More’s Utopia, Francis Bacon’s New Atlantis, Margaret Cavendish’s Description of a New World, Called

Abstract:
This chapter contains a selection of the private correspondence of Margaret Cavendish, Duchess of Newcastle, as well as several epistles taken from her published works. It includes Cavendish’s letters to and from the Dutch diplomat Constantijn Huygens, the English philosopher Walter Charleton, the Cambridge Platonist Henry More, and the philosopher-theologian Joseph Glanvill, spanning the period from 1655 to 1668. It begins with an introductory essay by the editor, situating the letters and epistles in the context of Cavendish’s wider philosophy, and in the context of early modern debates concerning matter and motion. The topics of the letters range from issues to do with experimental science, the constitution of material things, and the nature of reason to the existence of space and belief in witches and demons and spirits in nature. The text includes editorial annotations to assist the reader’s understanding of early modern words and ideas.
