Extractions: JAN exactly Boyle was a corpuscularian, a term he employed to paper over the differences between believers in a vacuum, and believers in a plenum, given that both of them agreed that the explanation of natural occurrences should be solely in terms of particles of matter, their motion and interaction. Boyle consistently refused to pronounce on the question of whether these minima naturalia should be considered atoms , in the strict sense of that term, or not. Even a metaphysical non-corpuscularian such as Leibniz agreed with Boyle in practical terms. "However much I agree with the Scholastics in this general and, so to speak, metaphysical explanation of the principles of bodies," he wrote to Arnauld in July 1686, "I am as corpuscular as one can be in the explanation of particular phenomena, and it is saying nothing to allege that they have forms or qualities" (Gerhardt 1875, 2:58, trans. Mason 1967). Boyle's scientific range was wide. Besides his well known work in mechanics, medicine, hydrodynamics and a wide variety of experiments with his vacuum pump, he was interested both theoretically and practically in alchemy (see Principe 1998), where his interest seems to have been fueled more by his constant desire to acquire knowledge of God and the world than by any desire for riches. He "cultivated Chymistry with a disinterested mind," seeking the improvement of his own knowledge, "

http://www-gap.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Mathematicians/Boyle.html

Extractions: Robert Boyle was born into a Protestant family. His father was Richard Boyle, Earl of Cork, who had left England in 1588 at the age of 22 and gone to Ireland. Appointed clerk of the council of Munster by Elizabeth I in 1600, he bought Sir Walter Raleigh's estates in the counties of Cork, Waterford, and Tipperary two years later. Robert's mother, Catherine Fenton, was Richard Boyle's second wife, his first having died within a year of the birth of their first child. Robert was the seventh son (and fourteenth child) of his parents fifteen children (twelve of the fifteen survived childhood). Richard Boyle was in his 60s and Catherine Boyle in her 40s when Robert was born. Of his father Robert would later write [12]:- He, by God's blessing on his prosperous industry, from very inconsiderable beginnings, built so plentiful and so eminent a fortune, that his prosperity has found many admirers, but few parallels. Indeed, Robert was fortunate to have the richest man in Great Britain for a father although, one would have to say, the Earl of Cork had acquired his fortune by somewhat dubious means. He was imprisoned in England on charges of embezzlement at one stage and later was fined heavily for possessing defective titles to some of his estates.

Extractions: Among the many contenders for the title of " Father of Modern Chemistry " is Robert Boyle (January 25, 1627 - December 30, 1691). Boyle was the first prominent scientist to perform controlled experiments and to publish his work with elaborate details concerning procedure, apparatus and observations. He assembled what we would today call a "research group", developed a key piece of apparatus - the vacuum pump, was instrumental in founding the Royal Society, and deserves at least partial credit for the famous gas law which bears his name. Boyle was born in Ireland. As the youngest of fourteen children of the wealthiest man in the British Isles, Boyle's opportunities were almost unlimited. However, while still in adolescence, he chose the pseudonym Philaretus (Lover of Truth) and a life of scientific inquiry seemed almost inevitable. He was educated in the finest possible manner of this day, first studying at Eton and later travelling the Continent with a tutor and his older brother Francis. He learned philosophy, religion, languages, mathematics, and - perhaps most significantly - the new physics of Bacon, Descartes, and Galileo. The physical scientists and their new theories concerning air and vacuum, the movement of planets, and the circulation of blood were to sway his thinking much more than the alchemists. Boyle published copiously on topics ranging across several fields of science, philosophy, and theology. His first major scientific report

Extractions: Born Jan. 25, 1627, Lismore, County Waterford, Ire. d. Dec. 30, 1691, London, Eng. Anglo-Irish chemist and natural philosopher noted for his pioneering experiments on the properties of gases and his espousal of a corpuscular view of matter that was a forerunner of the modern theory of chemical elements. He was a founding member of the Royal Society of London. Boyle was the 14th child of a family of wealth and influence. In 1635 he was sent to Eton College, after which he spent the years from 1639 to 1644 with a tutor on the European continent, for the most part in Switzerland. From 1645 to 1655 Boyle lived partly in Dorset, where he began his experimental work and wrote moral essays, some of which appeared in 1655 in Occasional Reflections upon Several Subjects. One of his essays is reputed to have inspired the writing of Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift. He spent some time in Ireland in connection with his estates; because laboratory apparatus was unobtainable there, he engaged in anatomical dissection. From 1656 to 1668 he resided at the University of Oxford, where he had the good fortune to secure the assistance of Robert Hooke, the able inventor and subsequent curator of experiments to the Royal Society, who helped him construct an air pump.

Extractions: Last updated: 05.08.2001 06:33:56 Robert Boyle was born in Lismore, Ireland. He was regarded as one of the foremost experimental scientists of his time. It is thought that he was the first to collect gases by displacing water in an inverted flask. He discovered the relationship between the pressure and the volume of a gas in 1660. The relationship, pxV = constant, is known as Boyle´s law and was one of the first attempts to express a scientific principle in a mathematical form. Boyle separated chemistry from the realm of alchemy and estabilished it as a science. On the basis of experiment he defined an element as something that cannot be broken up into smaller substances. Robert Boyle devoted his life to experimental science, taking careful notes of each experiment, enabling other scientists to learn from his work. He is regarded as the father of experimental science.

http://www.newlisbon.k12.wi.us/physicists/boyle.html

Extractions: Robert Boyle, an Irish-born English scientist, was an early proponent of the scientific method and a founder of modern chemistry. After his education in Geneva, Switzerland, Boyle settled in England and devoted himself to scientific research. He strongly beleived in "the necessitity of objective observation and verifiable laboratory experiments" in science, which is why he is known as a founder of the modern scientific method. Boyle was also the first chemist to isolate and collect a gas. Through his studies, he formulated a law of physics which states that if temperature is held constant, the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume (Boyle's Law). In the field of chemistry, Boyle observed that air is absorbed in the process of combustion and that metals gain weight when they oxidize. He also recognized the difference between a compound and a mixture and formulated his atomic theory of matter on the basis of his laboratory experiments. In The Sceptical Chemist (1661), Boyle attacked Aristotle's theory that four elements-earth, air, fire, and water-compose all matter. Boyle's theory was that tiny particles of primary matter combine in various ways to form what he called corpuscles, and that all observable reactions resulted from the motion and structure of the corpuscles.

Extractions: Robert Boyle (16271691) was born at Lismore Castle, Munster, Ireland, the fourteenth child of the Earl of Cork. As a young man of means, he was tutored at home and on the Continent. He spent the later years of the English Civil Wars at Oxford, reading and experimenting with his assistants and colleagues. This group was committed to the New Philosophy, which valued observation and experiment at least as much as logical thinking in formulating accurate scientific understanding. At the time of the restoration of the British monarchy in 1660, Boyle played a key role in founding the Royal Society to nurture this new view of science. The Sceptical Chymist (title page). Although Boyle's chief scientific interest was chemistry, his first published scientific work, New Experiments Physico-Mechanicall, Touching the Spring of the Air and its Effects (1660), concerned the physical nature of air, as displayed in a brilliant series of experiments in which he used an air pump to create a vacuum. The second edition of this work, published in 1662, delineated the quantitative relationship that Boyle derived from experimental values, later known as "Boyle's law": that the volume of a gas varies inversely with pressure. Boyle at thirty-seven.

Extractions: Robert Boyle was born in Lismore, Ireland on January 25, 1627. He grew up in a large family of fourteen children. Boyle studied at Eton College from the time he was about eight years old until he was twelve. When he was twelve, he went on a five year European tour with a private tutor and his older brother Francis. During this time, Boyle read the works of Galileo, Bacon, and Descartes. When he returned from his tour in 1644, he moved to Dorset, England and began to write moral essays and do scientific research. Boyle joined a scientific society in 1654 that became the Royal Society in 1662. This is now the oldest continuous scientific society in the world. In 1656, he moved to Oxford to live with his sister, and worked with Robert Hooke on his most well-known experiments. He died in London on December 30, 1691 at the age of sixty-three. Boyle published two major scientific books in his lifetime. The first, The Spring and Weight of Air , was published in 1660. In it, Boyle proved that air was necessary for supporting sound, fire, and life. His second book, The Sceptical Chymist , was published in 1661. It argued against Aristotle's view of four elements, and proposed a different view, saying that elements were actually made up of different arrangements of primary particles. In 1662, he published the second edition of
