Actors

Plot
In the 18th century, the only way to navigate accurately at sea was to follow a coastline all the way, which would not get you from Europe to the West Indies or the Americas. Observing the sun or stars would give you the latitude, but not the longitude unless done in conjunction with a clock that would keep time accurately at sea, and no such clock existed. After one too many maritime disasters due to navigational errors, the British Parliament set up a substantial prize for a way to find the longitude at sea. The film's main story is that of craftsman John Harrison: he built a clock that would do the job, what we would now call a marine chronometer. But the Board of Longitude was biased against this approach and claiming the prize was no simple matter. Told in parallel is the 20th century story of Rupert Gould, for whom the restoration of Harrison's clocks to working order became first a hobby, then an obsession that threatened to wreck his life.

Quotes:

George Graham: One second a month, sir! You're either a liar or a fool. --Who're your makers?::John Harrison: Myself, and my brother James.::George Graham: Really? Who were you apprenticed to?::John Harrison: My father, as was he. I am a carpenter by profession.::George Graham: A carpenter?!::John Harrison: My timekeepers are made of wood. I've brought some drawings with me.::George Graham: I'm sorry, I mistook you. This is a joke, sir, am I right? Mr. Halley seeks to derive some pleasure from this contrivance? Is he here, perhaps, hiding in a corner to watch my performance?::John Harrison: It is I who am sorry, sir! The fault is mine. It was my impression I was here to see a clockmaker; I find myself in a toy shop by mistake! William!::[turns to leave]

George Graham: Mr. Harrison! Summer and winter... how is it done? How is it done, the compensation?::John Harrison: I use a pendulum of different metals that work against each other.::George Graham: Impossible. Doesn't work. I've tried it.::John Harrison: It is possible. It does work. I've built it.

Rupert Gould: Sir Frank, I'm not asking to mechanically alter the Harrison machines; I just want to bring them back to their proper condition. If they're left as they are much longer, I fear they may become unrecoverable. I know my qualifications appear unlikely; I can only plead that they're no more so than Harrison's own.

Muriel Gould: I want you to give up the clock.::Rupert Gould: I will... when it's finished.::Muriel Gould: Yes, I knew you'd say that. Silly of me, really.

John Harrison: I'm afraid you must excuse me, but I should go back on deck. The air in here is...::John Campbell: Poisonous? You'll get used to it. Most people don't notice it after the first couple of years.

Minister for the Navy: [to Parliament] Honorable Members who mourn with us the recent tragic loss off the Scilly Isles of four of Her Majesty's ships, and 2,000 wretched souls therein, under the command of Admiral Sir Cloudisley Shovell, will be pleased to know that Her Majesty's government is to offer a reward -- a prize of twenty thousand pounds -- to any man offering a practicable and useful solution to the problem of finding longitude at sea. A Board of Longitude will be set up, whose sole business will be to investigate any serious suggestions, and finally, it is profoundly to be hoped, to award this prize.

John Harrison: It's not just beautiful, it's divine: that's where the beauty lies, you see. Each note on the scale is calculated by mathematical formula, based on the circumference of a circle, you see.::Sir Charles Pelham: Uh, almost...::John Harrison: The step between each note is composed of larger and lesser intervals, each derived from pi. It is divine because for the first time we are listening to music as the Lord intended.

Sir Charles Pelham: How can you tell if a clock is running 5 seconds faster, or slower?::John Harrison: My own pendulum clock is adjusted to one second a month.::Sir Charles Pelham: O-ho-ho, no clock can be that accurate.::John Harrison: Mine can.

John Harrison: Impossible, sir. Clock needs a pendulum. Can't take a pendulum to sea.::Sir Charles Pelham: Not like you to say "impossible," John.::John Harrison: No, sir.

Elizabeth Harrison: You've found a way to build this sea-clock, haven't you?::John Harrison: With God's help it might be possible. --I mean, why did He encourage me to build a perfect timepiece in the first place? So the blacksmith might start work 5 seconds earlier or later? Or was it to give us the ability to explore His creation in safety, to move without fear in the space He's given us to inhabit?

Famous quotes by Edmund Burke:

"Society is indeed a contract. It is a partnership in all science; a partnership in all art; a partnership in every virtue, and in all perfection. As the ends of such a partnership cannot be obtained in many generations, it becomes a partnership not only between those who are living, but between those who are living, those who are dead, and those who are to be born."

"Nobody makes a greater mistake than he who does nothing because he could only do a little"

"Reading without reflecting is like eating without digesting."

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing"

"In a democracy, the majority of the citizens is capable of exercising the most cruel oppressions upon the minority"

"Education is the cheap defense of nations"

"Those who don't know history are destined to repeat it."

"No passion so effectually robs the mind of all its powers of acting and reasoning as fear."

"All that's necessary for the forces of evil to win in the world is for enough good men to do nothing."

"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

"A disposition to preserve, and an ability to improve, taken together, would be my standard of a statesman."

"What ever disunites man from God, also disunites man from man."

"A spirit of innovation is generally the result of a selfish temper and confined views. People will not look forward to posterity, who never look backward to their ancestors."

"People will not look forward to posterity, who never look backward to their ancestors."

"I have never yet seen any plan which has not been mended by the observations of those who were much inferior in understanding to the person who took the lead in the business."

"Flattery corrupts both the receiver and the giver."

"But the age of chivalry is gone. That of sophisters, economists, and calculators has succeeded; and the glory of Europe is extinguished forever."

"Magnanimity in politics is not seldom the truest wisdom; and a great empire and little minds go ill together."

"Liberty must be limited in order to be possessed."

"Frugality is founded on the principal that all riches have limits."

19. The Burkean Outlook

Duration: 48:19
Updated: 06 Apr 2011

Moral Foundations of Politics (PLSC 118) Edmund Burke was an English politician who wrote his Reflections on the Revolution in France to express his disdain for the destructive havoc wrought by the French Revolution. As a traditionalist-conservative, he thinks about social change in a cautious and incremental way and characterizes the social contract as binding on those who are living, those who are dead, and those who are yet to be born. Studying the anti-Enlightenment differs from the study of the Enlightenment because traditional conservatives of the Burkean school reject the idea of formulating a theory upon which to base society. Their views can be more accurately characterized as attitudes or dispositions. Social change is possible, but it must reflect the thinking of "the man on the Clapham omnibus." Thinkers like Burke and Devlin place individuals as subordinate to society and its traditions. Therefore, the anti-Enlightenment is a rejection of both of the central tenets of the Enlightenment that have been covered in the course until now--the commitment to individual rights, and to science and reason. 00:00 - Chapter 1.

Duration: 41:30
Updated: 16 May 2015

*** Melvyn Bragg and his guests discuss the work of the eighteenth-century philosopher, politician and writer Edmund Burke.Born in Dublin, Burke began his career in London as a journalist and made his name with two works of philosophy before entering Parliament. There he quickly established a reputation as one of the most formidable orators of an age which also included Pitt the Younger.When unrest began in America in the 1760s, Burke was quick to defend the American colonists in their uprising. But it was his response to another revolution which ensured he would be remembered by posterity. In 1790 he published Reflections on the Revolution in France, a work of great literary verve which attacked the revolutionaries and predicted disaster for their project. The book prompted Thomas Paine to write his masterpiece Rights of Man, and Mary Wollstonecraft was among the others to take part in the ensuing pamphlet war. Burke's influence shaped our parliamentary democracy and attitude to Empire, and lingers today. *** GUESTS: Karen O'Brien Richard Bourke John Keane ===================================== Edmund Burke, Conservative, Conservatism, French Revolution, Pragmatic Conservatism, Thomas Paine, Rights of Man, Tradition, Reflections, Revolution, France, Philosopher, Whig, Tory, Politics, Revolutionary, Tories, Debate, Discussion, Religion, Ireland,

http://www.tomrichey.net In this segment of my series on Women and the French Revolution, I discuss Mary Wollstonecraft's role as a VINDICATOR for women during the French Revolution. In 1790, Edmund Burke, a notable member of Parliament, published a scathing rebuke of the French Revolution, its aims, and its principles. At a time when it wasn't appropriate for a woman to engage in public debate, Mary Wollstonecraft responded to Burke with her Vindication of the Rights of Man. After finishing at this work, Wollstonecraft began writing A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, the work for which she is best known. Wollstonecraft's willingness to step into the arena and engage the public in debates about liberalism and feminism.

Updated: 19 May 2015

This video tries to contextualize Edmund Burke's Reflections of the Revolution in France, in which he argues against the French Revolution as a destructive phenomenon. I am a bit more anti-Burke here than I maybe would like to be, but I find it really problematic that he ignores the historical causes of the Revolution in favor of pretending that the autocracy of French Absolutism was the benign and happy chivalric paradise he paints in the Reflections. Burke says nothing of starving peasants, political oppression, and so on, but imagines the Revolutionaries as this dirty, violent, insane mob who come out of nowhere to destroy an ancien regime in which everyone was happy.

This Lecture was recorded at The Academy 2014. You can find out about the Academy 2015 here: http://www.instituteofideas.com/events/the_academy_2015#.VH2qh2dpNFw About the speaker Frank Furedi is Emeritus professor of Sociology, University of Kent and Visiting Professor, Institute of Risk and Disaster Reduction, University College London. During the past 15 years Furedi’s studies have been devoted to an exploration of the cultural developments that influence the construction of contemporary risk consciousness. During the past decade his research has been oriented towards the way that risk and uncertainty is managed by contemporary culture. He has published widely about controversies relating to issues such as health, parenting children, food and new technology. His Invitation to Terror; Expanding the Empire of the Unknown (2007) explores the way in which the threat of terrorism has become amplified through the ascendancy of possibilistic thinking. It develops the arguments contained in two previous books The Culture of Fear (2003) and Paranoid Parenting (2001). Both of these works investigate the interaction between risk consciousness and perceptions of fear, trust relations and social capital in contemporary society. His work on trust has been developed through a historical investigation of the meaning of authority, which was published by Cambridge University Press in October 2013 as Authority, A Sociological History. His latest book; First World War: Still No End in Sight was published earlier this year. Furedi’s books and articles provide an authoritative yet lively account of key developments in contemporary cultural life. Using his insight as a professional sociologist, Furedi has produced a series of agenda-setting books that have been widely discussed in the media. Furedi regularly comments on radio and television. In the past year he has appeared on Newsnight, Sky and BBC News, The Today Programme, Moral Maze and a variety of other radio television shows. His has been interviewed by the media in Australia, Canada, the United States, Poland, Holland, Belgium, Brazil, and Germany and other countries.

Updated: 16 Oct 2014

A Philosophical Enquiry Audiobook Edmund BURKE A Philosophical Enquiry Edmund BURKE (1729 - 1797) Burke's A Philosophical Enquiry is an important treatise in the history of philosophical aesthetics, putting forth a theory of two concepts of central, perennial importance to the field of aesthetics, namely, the beautiful and the sublime. Written before Burke turned 19, it is his only purely philosophical work. Despite being such an early work, Burke's Philosophical Enquiry was noted by such later philosophers as Diderot and Kant and has remained influential in the field of aesthetics since its publication in 1757.
