The Natural and the Human: Science and the Shaping of Modernity, 1739-1841 - Science and the Shaping of Modernity
Gaukroger, Stephen (University of Sydney)
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 seen. At the core of the shift lies the aim of understanding human behaviour and motivations in empirical rather than theological and metaphysical terms.
