Ruggero Giuseppe Boscovich y el atomismo

Abstract

Ruggero Giuseppe Boscovich (1711-1787) llevó a cabo lo que probablemente es el más ambicioso intento de unificación de toda la física del siglo XVIII. A pesar de que sus ideas estaban muy alejadas de las posiciones de los atomistas de la época, desde finales del siglo XIX se viene considerando a Boscovich como uno de los representantes más destacados de las posturas atomistas del siglo XVIII. En este trabajo se estudia la recuperación de las ideas de Boscovich por James Clerk Maxwell en el contexto de la teoría cinética de los gases. Este proceso de reelaboración, a su vez, cambió el enfoque de los físicos adeptos al atomismo y propició el desarrollo de las nuevas concepciones de la estructura de la materia que darían lugar al nacimiento de la física atómica .y molecular a principios del siglo XX.

Ruggero Giuseppe Boscovich (1711-1787) carried out what probably is the rnost ambitious attempt of unification of 18th century physics. Although the fundamental elements of his theory were clearly non-atomistic in character, he has been considered one of the founders of modern atomism. This rather paradoxical situation is due to the incorporation of some of Boscovich ideas to the conceptualization of intermolecular forces by James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879), a process that gave impulse to classical kinetic theory of gases and opened the door to early formulations of modem atomic and molecular physics. hz this paper, the process by which the ideas of Boscovich were incorporated to 19th century's atomism is analyzed.
