Bøger af Peter Dear

This book is ideal for undergraduate and postgraduate students of Early Modern History, European History, History of Medicine, History of Science and Technology and the History and Philosophy of Science.

Based on the observation that the enterprise of science is, and has been, directed toward two distinct but frequently conflated ends - doing and knowing, this title considers how science as such has evolved, and how it has marshaled itself to make sense of the world. It is designed for aficionados, as well as historians of science.
