Description “This work explores the emerging debate over the scientific study of mankind's moral and social constitution through an analysis of a cohort of Cambridge undergraduates. This group, termed the ``Trinity Coalition”, consisted of the scientific polymath William Whewell, historian Connop Thirlwall, theologian Hugh James Rose, political economist Richard Jones, and philologist Julius Hare. Often working in concert, this group struggled with the philosophical foundations of science, morality, and religion in an attempt to develop a new conceptual system consistent with developments in the social, political, and scientific worlds.''
