Victorians Institute Conference Keynote: Searching for the Victorians (Conference Paper/Presentation)
Title: Victorians Institute Conference Keynote: Searching for the Victorians
Author: Dan Cohen
Abstract: Why did the Victorians look to mathematics to achieve certainty, and how we might understand the Victorians better with the mathematical methods they bequeathed to us? I want to relate the Victorian debate about the foundations of our knowledge to a debate that we are likely to have in the coming decade, a debate about how we know the past and how we look at the written record that I suspect will be of interest to literary scholars and historians alike. It is a philosophical debate about idealism, empiricism, induction, and deduction, but also a practical discussion about the methodologies we have used for generations in the academy.
