Resumo: | During the end of the decade of 1820s and the start of 1830s, a national British movement preached the scientific readership as universal remedy for social and political turbulences, and educational reforms undertook the containment of what became known as the “Decline of Science” controversy. In this context, discourse about science in Great Britain became an élite aristocratic subject, and a series of notable books reflected on the nature of its power and social transformations it occasioned. One of such books, by natural philosopher Humphry Davy, is the semiautobiography Consolations in Travel, posthumously published in 1830 as an article of a collection of works accomplished in retirement and voluntary exile in picturesque sceneries, including long orations on contemplative and metaphysical themes. Subject to a meteoric career as tenured official at a scientific society funded by techno-industrial patronage, he participated in the destiny and deliberation of a new form of practicing science with political visibility, specially towards, at the Royal Institution, the realization of public performances of chemical and technological experiments. For the public sphere, Davy’s singular contribution elucidated the vocation for science along a process of visible technoscientific progress. However, in the private sphere, his relation to radical scientists and the poetic generation of British Romanticism nuanced his persona, as formed by an autobiographical book. Therefore, this work is conducted with the investigation of a transitional figure of a new professional of science in combination with a philosopher and thinker about the national destiny of the politics of science, as well as the contemplation of scientific discoveries and their potential permanent legacy for man, illustrated by the dire consequences of their indiscriminate usage as products, through epistemological probes and conscience expanding experiments, and the resolution of scientific enigmas |

Neste contexto, o discurso sobre a ciência na Grã-Bretanha se tornou um assunto da elite aristocrática, e uma série de livros notáveis refletiram a natureza de seu poder e as transformações sociais que produzia. Entre eles, encontra-se a semiautobiografia do filósofo natural Humphry Davy, Consolations in Travel, publicada postumamente em 1830 como uma coleção de trabalhos de aposentadoria e exílio voluntário em paisagens pitorescas, com perorações sobre temas metafísicos e contemplativos. Sujeito a uma carreira meteórica no mandato de uma sociedade de sábios fomentada pelo mecenato técnico-industrial, ele participou da destinação de uma nova forma deliberada de fazer ciência com visibilidade política, especialmente com vistas a, na Royal Institution, fazer performances públicas de experimentos químicos e tecnológicos. Para a esfera pública, a contribuição singular de Davy esclareceu a vocação científica diante de um processo de progresso visível da ciência e da técnica. Entretanto, no âmbito privado, sua relação com os radicais cientistas e a geração poética e romântica britânica matizou a sua persona formada por um livro autobiográfico. Sendo assim, investiga-se neste trabalho como que a figura transicional de um novo profissional da ciência se combina com um filósofo e pensador sobre o destino nacional da política da ciência, assim como da contemplação das descobertas científicas e seu potencial legado permanente para o homem, com as consequências drásticas evidenciadas pelo uso indiscriminado destes produtos científicos, em explorações epistemológicas e de ampliação da consciência, e de resolução de enigmas científicosConselho Nacional de Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico - CNPq / FundaspporPontifícia Universidade Católica de São PauloPrograma de Estudos Pós-Graduados em História da CiênciaPUC-SPBrasilFaculdade de Ciências Exatas e TecnologiaCNPQ::CIENCIAS HUMANAS::HISTORIA::HISTORIA DAS CIENCIASHistória da Ciência e technéAutobiografiaDavyHumphryGrã-Bretanha (séc.
