	abstract = {<p>Primarily between 1833 and 1840, William Whewell attempted to accomplish what natural philosophers and scientists since at least Galileo had failed to do: to provide a systematic and broad-ranged study of the tides and to attempt to establish a general scientific theory of tidal phenomena. I document the close interaction between Whewells philosophy of science (especially his methodological views) and his scientific practice as a tidologist. I claim that the intertwinement between Whewells methodology and his tidology is more fundamental than has hitherto been documented.</p>},
