Gaukroger, Stephen (Emeritus Professor of History of Philosophy and History of Science, Emeritus Professor of History of Philosophy and History of Science, University of Sydney)
How did science come to have such a central place in Western culture? How did our ways of thinking, and our moral, political, and social values, come to be modelled around scientific values? Stephen Gaukroger traces the story of how these values developed, and how they influenced society and culture from the 19th to the mid-20th century.
