The rise of capitalism during this period-embodied by secular faith, political radicalism, science, commerce, and industry-was, according to Anglican critics, undermining this spiritual world and challenging it with a superficial material one: a human-centric rationalist society hell-bent on measurable betterment via profit, consumption, and a prevalent notion of progress. Here, William J. Ashworth places the politics of science within a far more contested context. By focusing on the Trinity College circle, spearheaded from Cambridge by the polymath William Whewell, he details an ongoing struggle between the Established Church and a quest for change to the prevailing social hierarchy. His study presents a far from unified view of science and religion at a time when new ways of thinking threatened to divide England and even the Trinity College itself"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Religion and science $z England $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Religion $x History $z England $x History $y 19th century. 610 20 $a Trinity College (University of Cambridge) $x History $y 19th century. 610 20 $a Church of England $x History $y 19th century. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85025688 651 0 $a England $x Intellectual life $y 19th century. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85043304 651 0 $a England $x Church history $y 19th century. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85043270 830 0 $a Science and culture in the nineteenth century. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2007096396 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20211102015705.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=03E28D9A3BA511EC87B0DC564EECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
