Opis

This book tries to uncover science's discoverer and explain why the conception of science has been changing during the centuries, and why science can be beneficial and dangerous for humanity. Far from being hermetic, this research can be interesting for all who want to understand deeper what really conditions the place of science in culture. "Piotr Jaroszynski's Science in Culture is a superbly scholarly philosophical analysis of the place and role of science in Western culture from the ancient Greeks to the present. An exemplar of the way to do philosophy, it deserves to become a classic." Peter A. Redpath, Executive Editor, Value Inquiry Book Series Special Series Editor, Gilson Studies
