Stephen Gaukroger presents an original account of the development of science and our understanding of ourselves during a period which saw a fundamental shift in how the role of science was understood. At the core of the shift, he argues, lay the aim of understanding human behaviour and motivations in empirical rather than theological and metaphysical terms. No library descriptions found. |
