Doctoral Dissertation Research: Herman Boerhaave and Chemical Pedagogy in the Early Eighteenth Century

这个项目将考察最重要的化学教育家之一Herman Boerhaave的化学实践，并将研究Boerhaave如何从实验室工作、函电、书籍和他自己的大学经历中分析想法和实践，以产生一个易于教授给学生的有组织的化学知识体系。通过以这种方式处理化学实践问题，本研究将最终阐明波尔哈夫和大学教育对化学作为一门科学学科发展的重要性。此外，这部作品还将说明博尔哈韦的教育实践与莱登的社会和智力文化之间的联系。

This project will look at the chemical practice of one of the most important chemical educators, Herman Boerhaave, and will examine how Boerhaave analyzed ideas and practices from laboratory work, correspondence, books, and his own university experiences to produce an organized body of chemical knowledge that was easily teachable to students. By approaching the problem of chemical practice in this manner, this research will ultimately illuminate the importance of both Boerhaave and university education for the development of chemistry as a scientific discipline. In addition, this work will illustrate the connections between Boerhaave's pedagogical practices and the social and intellectual culture of Leyden.
