- W2495654131 abstract "One of the great aims of the Enlightenment was to shine the light of science on those corners of the Earth that were little known to the European world. Australia and the Pacific provoked particular intellectual curiosity and excitement as parts of the globe yet to be drawn into the Enlightenment's maps of nature. Eighteenth-century exploration of the Pacific had a strong scientific character because, with the growing sophistication of systems of classification and methodology, science was increasingly regarded as the dominant means by which to understand the world and thus control it. The familiar goals of imperial rule and economic advantage were major spurs to Pacific voyaging but the language used to justify such endeavours assumed an increasingly scientific cast. Developments in science and technology in the nineteenth century reinforced the dominance of scientific understandings of the world, especially with the acceleration of the industrial revolution and the rise of Darwinism. Nevertheless, the light generated by science also revealed a world that challenged some of the basic tenets of the Enlightenment. There was pattern and bounty, but nature also emerged as brutal, dangerous and, as the Australian experience attested, surprisingly fragile." @default.
