| Summary: | Although millions each day enjoy fizzy pop and others add a splash of soda to their whisky, few of them will be aware that it was Joseph Priestley who discovered how to carbonate water. Furthermore, while Priestley made important, if sometimes controversial, contributions to philosophy, theology, history, political thought, and the natural sciences (discovering some of the properties of oxygen and of several other gases, and making discoveries in electricity and optics), and while he was well known in his day, he is not as widely recognized by historians of thought and in current debates as he arguably deserves. |
