As his work shows, the sciences do not developexclusively as a result of a progressive and inexorable logic ofdiscovery. A wide variety of extra-scientific factors, deriving fromchanging intellectual contexts and differing social millieus, playcrucial roles in the overall development of scientific thought. Theseessays represent case studies in a broad range of scientific settings- from sixteenth-century astronomy and medicine, throughnineteenth-century biology and mathematics, to the social sciences inthe twentieth-century - that show the impact of both socialsettings and the cross-fertilization of ideas on the formation ofscience. Aimed at a general audience interested in the history ofscience, this book closes with Debus‘s personal perspective on thedevelopment of the field. ..Audience:. This book will appeal especially to historians ofscience, of chemistry, and of medicine. | 出版日期 | Conference proceedings 1997 | 关键词 | John Dee; R; Scientific Revolution; atomic theory; historian of science; ideas of science; science; scienti | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-011-5810-7 | isbn_softcover | 978-94-010-6454-5 | isbn_ebook | 978-94-011-5810-7Series ISSN 1566-659X Series E-ISSN 2215-1974 | issn_series | 1566-659X | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 1997 |
