- W76734164 abstract "The doctrine of affinity deserves to be recognised by historians of chemistry asthe foundational basis of the discipline of chemistry as it was practiced inBritain during the 18th century. It attained this status through its crucialstructural role in the pedagogy of the discipline. The importance of pedagogyand training in the practice of science is currently being reassessed by a numberof historians, and my research contributes to this historiographical endeavour.My analysis of the variety of theories sheltered under the umbrella term ‘affinitytheory’ has emphasised the role of pedagogy in influencing both the structureand the content of knowledge. I have shown that there were wide rangingdiscrepancies between many of the components of individual affinity theories.Nevertheless, the scope of divergence was limited. This underlying organisationresulted from the unifying hub of affinity theory, the logical common ground.This was the essence of the doctrine of affinity, encompassing the law of affinityand the conceptualisation of the table that brought together the relationsdescribed in the law. The doctrine of affinity thus provided a disciplinarycommon ground between chemists, providing a mediating level ofunderstanding and communication for all those who subscribed to the doctrineof affinity, in spite of their detailed differences." @default.
