He was ordained and became vicar of his home town of Fawsley in 1637, but soon resigned and became chaplain successively to Lord Saye and Sele, Lord Berkeley, and Prince Charles Louis, nephew of King Charles I and afterwards elector palatine of the Rhine In 1641, Wilkins published an anonymous treatise entitled Mercury, or The Secret and Swift Messenger . It was a small but comprehensive work on cryptography , and a timely gift to the diplomats and leaders of the imminent English Civil War . In he became warden of Wadham College, Oxford . Under him the college was extraordinarily prosperous, for, although a supporter of Oliver Cromwell , he was in touch with the most cultured Royalists , who placed their sons in his charge. In Richard Cromwell appointed him master of Trinity College, Cambridge At the Restoration in he was deprived of the position given him by Cromwell, but was appointed prebendary of York and rector of Cranford, Middlesex.

Extractions: John Wilkins 's father was Walter Wilkins, a goldsmith from Oxford. In [6] Aubrey describes Walter Wilkins as:- ... a very ingenious man with a very mechanical head. He was much for trying of experiments, and his head ran much upon the perpetual motion. Walter Wilkins married Jane Dod, the daughter of the Puritan minister John Dod, and John was one of their four children. Walter Wilkins died in 1625 while John was still a boy and Jane remarried. John's stepfather then became Francis Pope and a son of this marriage, Walter Pope, remained a close friend of John Wilkins throughout his life. John's early education is described in [4] in the following way:- He was taught his Latin and Greek by Edward Sylvester, a noted Grecian, who kept a Private School in the Parish of All Saints in Oxford: His Proficiency was such, that at Thirteen Years of Age he entered a Student in New-Inn, in Easter-Term . He made no long stay there, but was removed to Magdalen Hall, ... and there he took his Degree in Arts in October
Evolution And Philosophy
Evolution and Philosophy. An Introduction. by john wilkins Copyright © 1997. volutionand philosophy have a relationship as old as the idea of evolution itself.
http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/evolphil.html

Extractions: by John Wilkins volution and philosophy have a relationship as old as the idea of evolution itself. This is partly due to the fact that science and philosophy only separated about the time evolutionary theories were being first proposed, but also because - especially in the Darwinian context - evolution was opposed to many cherished philosophical doctrines. The first main criticisms of evolution lay in the idea that species were eternal types, and so by definition species could not change. More recently, criticisms have rested on the notion of science itself, that evolution fails to meet the standards of true science, views that also were expressed at the time of Darwin and earlier. If we are to understand these criticisms, we must understand the philosophy of science in some detail. Many other topics of philosophical debate have been raised, and they are briefly reviewed: reductionism, progress and directionalism, teleology, naturalism, and evolutionary ethics. Not all of them are related to creationism, but all apply to antievolutionary arguments by those working from a humanities slant. Finally, the view has been put, even by philosophers like Popper who admire and accept evolutionary theory, that it is a tautology and metaphysical rather than science. My conclusion is that evolution, especially the modern theories, is science at its best, and when it and the nature of science are considered realistically, evolution is not lacking from a philosophical perspective. This essay will deal with these philosophical questions and misunderstandings about evolution:

Darwinism And The Division Of Labour
The founding conference of the British Society for the Social Responsibility in Science in November 1970, was on the theme, 'The Social Impact of Modern Biology'. The conference was attended by a number of eminent scientists, e.g., Nobel Laureates James Watson, Jaques Monod, Maurice wilkins; David Bohm, Jacob Bronowski, R.G. Edwards (of Steptoe Edwards, the pioneers of 'testtube babies'), as well as some radicals, Hilary Steven Rose, john Beckwith. It was, perhaps, the last moment when radicals and posh scientists were relatively united. The talk was published in The Listener, 17 August 1972, pp. 202-5 and in Science as Culture no. 9 110-24, 1990.

The point is that mercury evaporates more >quickly than most people realize, and that toxic concentrations can easily >form in enclosed spaces. Rubbish. Let's separate the rational from the chemophobia. Fact: Exposure to mercury vapor, even fairly high levels, will NOT kill you. It will give you the worst case of the squirts imaginable. I know from experience after a mercury still in my lab sprung a leak and gassed me. This released the vapor from on the order of several POUNDS of mercury into a relatively small room. Fact: Detectable does not indicate harmful. Fact: Detectable in the body does not indicate risk. It is an unfortunate byproduct of state of the art instrumentation capable of counting atoms, that the invention of common sense wasn't a parallel invention. It is unfortunate that the EPA has fed this chemophobia. They've snatched the nuclear protection concept of ALARA (as low as reasonable achievable), folded, spindled, and mutillated it and set "risk thresholds" based more on what can be detected than what is hazardous. Fact: Just because you can't see it doesn't mean you gotta fear it. The anti-nuclear hysteria of the last few decades has taught people to fear the invisible boogeyman. This is simply another manifestation of that. >>Mercury is dangerous, period. Whether you breath it, swallow it, or touch it >>with UNBROKEN SKIN.... it can invade your body. Gad, from this, one could conclude that mercury has a life of its own. Wow. A living element. >OK, well, I wish someone would straighten me out on this. I have been >told that the health risk from a broken thermometer in the mouth is the >broken glass, not the mercury. This is absolutely correct. elemental mercury has almost zero bio- availability. It is NOT attacked by stomach acids. It passes right on out with the rest of your waste. >Absorption through the skin is a health risk, but not an immediate and >grave one if all you want to do is roll some around in your palm every >year or two. (I prefer gallium, but you need very warm hands to melt >it.) No. You cannot absorb pure mercury through the skin. Period. You MIGHT be able to absorb mercuric compounds possibly present in contaminated mercury IFF you had an open sore on your hand. >Vapor is evidently a grave risk. >Mercury-containing compounds that are in the least water- or acid- >soluble are extremely grave health risks, e.g. mercuric chloride. Jesus, don't you have any concept of proportionality risk? A bullet flying toward your head is a grave health risk. A cloud of cyanide gas is a grave health risk. Mecuric chloride is NOT a grave risk unless you decide to eat it. This sounds like the silliness found in MSDS databases that list, for example, "sea sand, washed" as a hazardous material. >Recovery from mercury poisoning is evidently possible, Apparently so, or else my ghost is typing this message. >given that >(for example) Isaac Newton did after a year or so in the sanitarium. Yep, he suffered MASSIVE contamination of the stuff, as did the "mad hatters" who used mercuric chloride in felt making. The difference between having one's hands immersed in a strong solution of mercuric chloride and having a few PPM of mercury vapor in the air is many orders of magnitude in risk. Apparently this fact is lost on a lot of people. >Has anyone got a definitive and not overly conservative (i.e., not >an MSDS) reference on hand to confirm/refute the above? Unfortunately rational information is hard to come by. A good indication of rational can be obtained from chemical hygene or chemistry texts written before the onslaught of chemophobia and safety-at-any-cost. >>The contaminant is methyl mercury (dunno the exact formula. My guess >>would be either CH3-Hg2-CH3 or CH3-Hg-CH3, considering its normal >>behavior). > >Organometallics ... generally not good for you if they're not either >chlorophyll or hemoglobin. True.

Wilkins Abstract The findings in this study reveal common, contradictory and idiosyncratic aspects that have important cultural and scientific/economic effects across organizational types. Common attributes include the observation of universal top-down organizational hierarchies with networks of labor being accumulated through elite scientists. Generally, informants perceived little to no effect from the national economy on their particular institutes funding of science. Scientists spent an extraordinary amount of time at work and conducted highly specialized work tasks. The publishing activity concentrated among elite scientists while utilization of foreign scientists and contingent workers were segregated. Also, the use of tacit knowledge as a principal training tool was universally observed across institutes.
