The Science’s Outreach Project in Michael Faraday and the Lectures

Abstract

This study aimed the main connections linked to the political and Economic mechanisms of late eighteenth-century England had failed to restructure due to untimely industrialization. Such assumptions would lead to major consequences in the first thirty years of the nineteenth century. These pressures were such that London society in particular had to modernize. We are situated in this period where the popularization of science and connections of its diffusion in the daily life of the nineteenth century occurred due to social, political and scientific developments. Basically, utilitarian science and scientific philanthropy, which suggested prioritizing crucial point, in the context. Michael Faraday's (1791-1867) proposal for the dissemination of science was based on argumentation naturally containing metaphysical assumptions, complex experimental method itself, however, elucidative and adequate to the aspects inherent to the study of matter and its forces. The proposal of scientific dissemination was based on teaching and making scientific knowledge public. The subjects originated from Michael Faraday's formal research, or rather, from the investigations experienced inside the laboratory, were disseminated in public lessons with a language of allegories, of studies aimed at the success of science and technology, making the experiment accessible to the understanding of the layman, to demonstrate and recreate an engaging environment, pleasant enough, unlike the "scientific" rigor of the laboratories. Reproduce experiments, disseminate them to young people between 15 - 20 years, reconstructing experiences, with theoretical deepening to stimulate, mainly, to awaken in young people the will to learn to "train the mind", a process also educational.
