Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the history of scientific research through the lens of the relationship between humans and the objects of scientific study, beginning with the early Greek Milesian philosophers and concluding at the end of the 19th century. The author explores how the choice of objects of study has shaped scientific methods and theories, arguing that human values and social structures have played a significant role in determining what counts as scientific knowledge. The book delves into the ways in which scientific knowledge is socially constructed and how it reflects the values and beliefs of the time in which it was produced. Through a series of fascinating case studies, the author shows how scientific knowledge is not simply a reflection of objective reality but is also a product of human creativity and imagination. The book concludes by arguing that the history of scientific research is not a simple march toward progress but rather a complex and often contradictory process shaped by human values and social structures. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
