Kant's dynamic theory of matter in 1755, and its debt to speculative Newtonian experimentalism
Get PDFThis paper explores the scientific sources behind Kant’s early dynamic theory of matter in 1755, with a focus on two main Kant’s writings: Universal Natural History and Theory of the Heavens and On Fire. The year 1755 has often been portrayed by Kantian scholars as a turning point in the intellectual career of the young Kant, with his much debated conversion to Newton. Via a careful analysis of some salient themes in the two aforementioned works, and a reconstruction of the scientific sources behind them, this paper shows Kant’s debt to an often overlooked scientific tradition, i.e. speculative Newtonian experimentalism. The paper argues that more than the Principia, it was the speculative experimentalism that goes from Newton’s Opticks to Herman Boerhaave’s Elementa chemiae via Stephen Hales’ Vegetable Staticks that played a central role in the elaboration of Kant’s early dynamic theory of matter in 1755

Geological recognition of abrupt marine invasions in two coastal areas of Portugal
No full textThis thesis was submitted for the award of Master of Philosophy and awarded by Brunel UniversityAbrupt marine invasions such as tsunamis and storms are particularly devastating for coastal areas. They may also leave a permanent record in the sedimentary deposits which is the principal focus of this thesis. In historical times the most destructive tsunami that affected Europe was the AD 1755 Lisbon. The effects and consequences of the AD 1755 tsunami are presented. The causes, propagation and behaviour of tsunamis are also discussed. Sedimentological criteria to identify abrupt marine invasions in the stratigraphic column are presented from literature. This thesis aims to contribute to a better understanding of the signature left by abrupt marine invasions in coastal stratigraphy by investigating the nature of the sedimentary record associated with tsunamis in a region of their known impact. A wide range of proxies was used to detected tsunami and storm deposits in 2 coastal areas of Portugal. The techniques used include
stratigraphic description, grain size analysis, digital and x-ray photography, magnetic susceptibility, macrofossils analysis, geochemical analysis and 210Pb and Optically Stimulated Luminescence dating. The investigated areas (e.g. Lagoa de Óbidos (Central Portugal) and Martinhal (South Portugal)) were affected by the AD 1755 tsunami. The locations have similar geomorphological features and are both susceptible to major abrupt marine invasions. Results show that an abrupt event deposited unique
sedimentary units in both locations. A similar age for the event was established. A considerable number of tsunami sedimentary characteristics
were detected in both units. However, a key outcome of this research is the demonstration of the difficulty of distinguishing between sedimentary deposits laid down by tsunamis, and
those deposits resulting from storm action; consequently the geological record of tsunamis almost certainly underestimates their frequency
Recent high-energy marine events in the sediments of the Lagoa de Óbidos and Martinhal (Portugal): Recognition, age and likely causes

This study contributes to this aim by investigating patterns of sedimentation associated with extreme coastal flood events, in particular, within the Lagoa de Óbidos (Portugal). The recent stratigraphy of this coastal lagoon was studied using a wide range of techniques including visual description, grain-size analysis, digital and x-ray photography, magnetic susceptibility and geochemical analysis. The sequence was dated by 14C, 210Pb and Optically Stimulated Luminescence. Results disclose a distinctive coarser sedimentary unit, within the top of the sequence studied, and shown in quartz sand by the enrichment of elements with marine affinity (e.g., Ca and Na) and carbonates. The unit fines upwards and inland, thins inland and presents a sharp erosive basal contact. A noticeable post-event change in the sedimentary pattern was observed. The likely agent of sedimentation is discussed here and the conceivable association with the Great Lisbon tsunami of AD 1755 is debated, while a comparison is attempted with a possibly synchronous deposit from a tsunami in Martinhal (Algarve, Portugal). The possibility of a storm origin is also discussed in the context of the storminess of the western Portuguese coast and the North Atlantic Oscillation. This study highlights certain characteristics of the sedimentology of the deposits that may have a value in the recognition of extreme marine inundation signatures elsewhere in the world.This article is made available through the Brunel Open Access Publishing Fund
