The HistNat project will assess the influence of philosophical discussions on the history of nature for the foundation of the modern earth sciences in Great Britain. Through a historical analysis of archive material, Jesper will conduct a historical analysis of the impact of the works of natural philosopher Henrik Steffens, including his influence on Charles Lyell.
