The article considers how nineteenth-century science embraced new ways of forwarding scientific disputes and controversies as the period was marked by the professionalisation of science and the rise of national science societies in Europe. It focuses particularly on how such changing rules were communicated in science literature in Germany and Great Britain. Topics considered include truth, secularism, popular science, and manners and etiquette among scientists. Notable people discussed include Scottish mathematician Dugald Stewart, English mathematician Charles Babbage, German philosopher Immanuel Kant, and German naturalist Lorenz Oken.
