Introduction à létude de la médecine expérimentale: édition intégrale (Études) (French Edition)

This corpus-based study compares introductions and conclusions of three disciplines of social and human sciences, linguistics, psychology and educational sciences.

Présentation

However, a large variation can be observed within human sciences. It shows that this family of disciplines should not be considered as a homogeneous group. Dans certaines constructions infinitives exemple: Authorship in academic writing in English both carries a culturally constructed individualistic ideology and places the burden of responsibility for the truth of an assertion heavily on the shoulders of the writer.

Iceland is a place, he notes, the very opposite of his familiar green classical landscape. For example, he is unable to see Hans for what he is, one who scales the barren rocks in search of bird eggs. Axel in Iceland is already in terra incognita, a stranger in a place where he does not speak the language, and where his only communication with his host M.

Fridriksson, takes place, significantly, in Latin. Equally he faces, in Iceland, an entirely new geological landscape. But rather than study it as new phenomena, he layers this landscape with textbook knowledge, interiorizing and familiarizing the unknown rather that confronting its newness: I examined with interest the minerological curiosities displayed in this vast natural history collection.

At the same time my mind ran through the whole geological history of Iceland]. His musings however reflect the more mystical visions of Victor Hugo: I forgot who I was, where I was, and lived the life of elves and sylphs. I was intoxicated by the voluptuous pleasure of the heights, oblivious to the depths my fate was shortly going to plunge me into]. Thus far, Axel seems able to find cultural guides for his experience, guides that divert his gaze from empirical scientific examination of phenomena he encounters.

This masking however becomes increasingly difficult to do as Axel penetrates into the completely unknown territory underground. Here cultural guides must be replaced by mechanical devices: The compass, which I often consulted, showed the direction as southeast with an unflinching precision]. The Ruhmkorffs go out.

All along, the voyagers are giving unknown places familiar names: Yet, increasingly, there are encounters with material phenomena where no name or cultural model fits, where nothing exists that can offer the least sense of orientation. Je foulais un granit sec et raboteux! Under my feet was dry and uneven granite. The stream was no longer flowing at my feet!

Death from thirst is neither a product nor a figment of the cultural mind. All at once, he finds himself face to face with the cold equations of the natural world, and his language conveys this objectively: I felt I was being crushed]. But this is not all.

Without a lamp, Axel now confronts a situation that not only no poet had ever imagined, but no human before him had ever experienced: Axel faces the truly unknown here; and his situation forces him to face it with scientific objectivity. Note how his description again modulates away from poetic discourse to discussion of physical levels of light and the retina: It is diffuse, it is subtle, but however little remains, the retina ends up receiving it.

Absolute darkness made me a blind man in the full sense of the word]. As Axel experiences what appears to him an absolute void, one is tempted to say he experiences Pascalian terror.

Présentation

But if this were the case, he is still approaching this moment as a humanist, in terms of what Pascal calls la condition humaine. In reality, however, Axel is physically forced, by the absence of all perceivable light, to act as an experimental scientist would. Indeed, it is only because he has physically lost all cultural bearings, all romantic sense of self, in the dark, that he is able to engage res extensa. Here, in the total absence of known forms of light, he is forced to attempt to measure the degree of an unknown form of darkness, and in doing so, becomes suddenly aware of the inadequacy of his own sense apparatus in terms of the objective nature of light.

What he perceives could only be conveyed because he has enough scientific training, not only to grasp, but to seek to measure the degree of uniqueness of his situation. Verne gives the reader this small glimpse of scientific wonder here. And then, exterior forces intervene. In this instance however, something akin to what Robert A. Axel has displayed the romantic penchant for dreaming. Axel may wish to see himself as having fallen down an Alice-in-Wonderland rabbit hole. In fact, he finds himself confronted with a landscape of increasingly unknown phenomena, each crying out for careful scientific examination.

Why is it there? Saved by an act of wonder, only to be plunged into a world of increasing physical wonders, Axel begins to realize, in the heightened tempo of things, that the language of human culture no longer fits the things he is observing: But the words which make up human language are inadequate for those who venture into the depths of the Earth].

But the reader now increasingly sees the uselessness of this language of poetic exaggeration, and with it the overwhelming inadequacy of the humanist observer in the face of patently new phenomena: Toutes ces merveilles, je les contemplais en silence. Les paroles me manquaient pour rendre mes sensations My imagination felt powerless before this immensity. I reflected on all these marvels in silence. Words to describe my feelings failed me completely At the same time, events increasingly happen that leave Axel little time to contemplate an increasingly unknown world.

Events intervene in like manner, when the expedition on the Lidenbrock Sea is interrupted by a battle of what appear to be sea-creatures. Then he and Lidenbrock seek to identify them as living specimens of presumably pre-historic sea monsters, as reconstructed by contemporary paleontologists. In fact, in the melee that ensues, their exact forms of these beings are never determined. We have another technique for generating sense of wonder. A clear shift is seen in these episodes from geological considerations to questions of paleontology, from issues of the age and the constitution of the earth, to issues of the nature and evolution of life.

The shift is quite noticeable in Chapters , where substantial material was added in the edition. But in order for scientific experiment to be valid in this case, they would have to study this data in its own context , in its under-earth environment. The more alien the phenomena encountered, the more they seek, in increasingly sophisticated maneuvers, to relocate this data in familiar contexts. The reader sees abundant promise of scientific discovery. That promise, however, is ever dissipated as the protagonists seek to convert unknown facts into known events.

Here we have the complete flora of the Secondary Period of the World Here we have those humble garden plants in the first centuries of the Earth. No botanist has ever been invited to such a display! How can he say, in fact, that no botanist has ever confronted such a spectacle, when he himself, as a botanist, is looking at it face to face, and rather than emoting, should be asking questions about the nature of these plants. One half of him stands in the presence of unknown flora. The other half is absent, as he travels in imagination to the familiar earth of garden plants, where of course no botanist has ever seen such plants.

It is of course most unlikely that these are simply larger versions of known plants. Their real evolutionary differences should be investigated, but our two scientists never propose to do so. The professor dodges such questions by placing himself in two locations, and speaking from the one where the evidence is not at hand.

Axel, as he presents the situation, finds it all but impossible to keep Lidenbrock in the underground location, with his eye of the facts at hand. For example, on examining some skeletal remains found in this soil, Axel notices an anomaly: But Lidenbrock soon after faces a more startling anomaly: Did it too fall down through a volcanic rift? In a letter to Charles Darwin, dated May 24, , J. I regard the position of all 4 as humiliating.

Falconer is of his original opinion saving solely that no fraud was played how he reconciles this to his facts I cannot conceive. Busk believes a little more than F[alconer]. Carpenter more than either, and P[restwich] is ready to believe anything. The point here is not that the find was a fraud, or even that it was not the paradigm-shifting event it was thought to be.

It was current, but hardly revolutionary news at the time of the second edition of Voyage in , when large sections of this chapter and the two following chapters were added to the text: In Gabriel Mortillet founded his review devoted to this subject; and in the first of a series of scientific congresses devoted to such researches was held in Italy. These investigations went on vigorously in all parts of France and spread rapidly to other countries.

The explorations which Dupont began in , in the caves of Belgium, gave to the museum at Brussels eighty thousand flint implements, forty thousand bones of animals of the Quaternary period, and a number of human skulls and bones found mingled with these remains.

Even so, Lidenbrock has before his eyes what he believes to be a complete skeleton of a quaternary man. His colleagues, given the state of contemporary paleontology, could at best hope to reconstitute such a specimen from fragments. But once again, and now quite dramatically, Lidenbrock turns his back on his data and the mysteries of its being. At once, he transports himself, in a sort of waking dream, back to his classroom at the Johannaeum, where he now displays, in a formal lecture, his quaternary specimen to skeptical colleagues.

If he first speaks in the conditional tense: He is actually there , speaking in the present tense. Vous pouvez le voir, le toucher [The corpse is there! You can see it, touch it]. In his imaginary trip to his familiar lecture hall, however, he now goes boldly where no man has gone, putting flesh on the creature whose bones he has never really examined. If Lidenbrock now asks hard questions, he is asking them in the wrong place, to an audience that has never seen their context: In a sense, in this scene, the reader is the only one who sees both worlds.

Up to now, the two scientists at least asked questions about phenomena they encounter. They are either turned away from answering these questions by intervening events e. Or they satisfy themselves with patently inadequate answers e. From this point on however in the narrative, our scientists no longer make even the minimal effort to describe phenomena, let alone analyze them. Axel comes across just such a field of bones.

As such places were being found, one would expect his response to be more measured. His earlier lesson of total material darkness in the cavern seems lost on him here. Axel now appears to see the physical world in a totally new light, that of dream, in which he loses all ties to physical reality, himself no longer casting either shadow or image. Now entering what seems a vast cluster of living tertiary vegetation, his mind no longer perceives the objects before his eyes.

Instead, as in a waking dream, he sees these fossils turn into living plants before his very eyes. The categories of conventional science clearly no longer have relevance here: Axel question his senses as one does in a dream: Axel throws at this apparition the ultimate weapon of his cultural arsenal—Vergil. But this new Golden Age proves to be but a dream of a dream.

Vergil proves powerless, and awe and wonder are now one with derangement of the senses. Immanis pecoris custos, immanior ipse. The word in Vergil Eclogue 5: We remember that it is Axel who is telling the story. Given his described relation to his uncle, it would seem tempting for him to reverse roles here, in what might be a totally imaginary scenario, and see the otherwise fearless explorer fleeing himself before the unknown. Usually Hans is physically present, if silent, at these moments of encounter with unknown phenomena.

Here he is completely off-stage, waiting with the raft on the shore. But what did Hans think as these two come running up? The reader, hoping to leave the realm of dream, now eager to see this underground world through more objective eyes, turns to Hans, but he is physically not there at all. Let us recapitulate here. Axel is his young, post-romantic pupil, equipped to ask scientific questions, but fearful of engaging the unknown, kept from doing so by the inadequacies of his humanist responses to the raw facts of res extensa , and, increasingly, by a growing propensity to cover physical reality with dreams.

Verne has turned what seems a paradox into a stunning literary device: This in turn inspires the reader to rethink the situation, to demand a more thorough scientific approach to material fact. Hans has the makings of an experimental scientist. Indeed, he could not have achieved the results he gets without using an experimental method.

But all this activity is occluded by Axel. To the educated bourgeois Axel, Hans is a servant. And for Axel, once a servant, always a servant.

For despite the fact that Hans renders extraordinary service to the two scientists on this hazardous journey, and even saves their lives on a number of occasions, Axel is still unable, even toward the end of their adventures, to see Hans as little more than a devoted servant: Hans first observes, then devises ways to guide his companions safely through seemingly impossible obstacles.

In order to do so, he certainly has to know a lot, and be willing to learn more. Despite this, Axel presents him as a blank sheet. Claude Bernard sees the awakening of the scientific method in mankind as a desire to pass from just seeing to the controlled activity of observation: But they never even come close to knowing the meanings of things. But, as Verne knew, if they were to pursue scientific inquiry to its end, we would have a story about doing science, not an adventure.

This is where Hans enters the scene. An extraordinary statement leaps out at the reader of Claude Bernard: For essentially, they know little and do less. To Axel, Hans is the man from Iceland, a barren land he describes as void of all traces of Western culture. Claude Bernard makes another important statement that could apply to Hans: Though Axel does not describe him doing so, Hans, to get the results he gets, has to study the landscape and draw significant experimental conclusions from analyzed data.

This is their first encounter with the cold equations of nature, and Axel at once succumbs to laments of hopelessness: Je poussai un cri et je tombai. I uttered a cry and fell down.
