Schriften zur Revolution (Klassiker der Politik #7)
by Johann Gottlieb FichteFichte als politischer Schriftsteller - Fichtes Leben bis zur Berufung nach Jena - Fichtes vorkantische Zeit: Zufällige Gedanken und Aphorismen über Religion und Deismus - Die Revolution im Kopf - Kant und die Aktualisierung des revolutionären Engagements - Abstraktes Naturrecht und die Kategorie des emanzipierten bürgerlichen Bewußtseins: Gesellschaftsvertrag - Montesquieu und Rousseau - Theodor Schmalz: Das reine Naturrecht - Polemik gegen den Konservatismus: August Wilhelm Rehberg - Die Zurückforderung der Denk freiheit - Ober die Achtung des Staates für die Wahrheit - Der Beitrag zur Berichtigung der Urteile des Publikums über die französische Revolution - Poli tiktheoretische Probleme der Revolutionsschriften: Staat und Gesellschaft - Freiheit und Gleichheit - Utopie - Der revolutionäre Vernunftbegriff und die Aktualität Fichtes. Zu Beginn des Krieges Preußens und des verbündeten Rußlands gegen Napoleon im Jahre 1806 erreichte die preußische Regierung ein Schreiben des Professors J. G. Fichte mit der Bitte, ihn zur moralischen Unterstüt zung der Armee als Redner mit ins Feld ziehen zu lassen. Das Gesuch, das die Behörden zweifellos in Verlegenheit gesetzt hat, wurde abgelehn- diese Art der Truppenbetreuung schien den Zuständigen damals nicht von so großer Bedeutung; eine Stelle, wie sie der Professor wünschte, zu schaf fen, waren sie weder bereit noch in der Lage. Fichte ließ sich dadurch nicht entmutigen; als die Regierung nach Königsberg auswich, folgte er ihr in der Absicht, auf jeden Fall beim preußischen Hof, seiner anerkann ten Obrigkeit, auszuharren.
Schroders: Merchants & Bankers
by Richard RobertsJ.Henry Schroder Wagg & Co has been a leading merchant bank of the City of London for more than a century. This book tells its history, from its founding in 1818 by John Henry Schroder, a Hamburg merchant, through difficult times in the international slump of the early 1930s, to its rise to one of the largest and most prestigious of city firms in London today.
Schrödinger’s Philosophy of Quantum Mechanics (Boston Studies in the Philosophy and History of Science #188)
by Michael BitbolThis book is the final outcome of two projects. My first project was to publish a set of texts written by Schrodinger at the beginning of the 1950's for his seminars and lectures at the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies. These almost completely forgotten texts contained important insights into the interpretation of quantum mechanics, and they provided several ideas which were missing or elusively expressed in SchrOdinger's published papers and books of the same period. However, they were likely to be misinterpreted out of their context. The problem was that current scholarship could not help very much the reader of these writings to figure out their significance. The few available studies about SchrOdinger's interpretation of quantum mechanics are generally excellent, but almost entirely restricted to the initial period 1925-1927. Very little work has been done on Schrodinger's late views on the theory he contributed to create and develop. The generally accepted view is that he never really recovered from his interpretative failure of 1926-1927, and that his late reflections (during the 1950's) are little more than an expression of his rising nostalgia for the lost ideal of picturing the world, not to say for some favourite traditional picture. But the content and style of Schrodinger's texts of the 1950's do not agree at all with this melancholic appraisal; they rather set the stage for a thorough renewal of accepted representations. In order to elucidate this paradox, I adopted several strategies.

Science and Controversy: A Biography of Sir Norman Lockyer, Founder Editor of Nature (Macmillan Science)
by A. MeadowsSir Norman Lockyer left Nature , the world's leading scientific journal, as his lasting memorial. But his life, and controversial theories, are an important part of science history. His ideas were at the forefront of public debate, and ranged from brilliant to perverse. This entertaining book is a fascinating insight into his eventful life
Science and Culture (Boston Studies in the Philosophy and History of Science #231)
by J. AgassiThis work addresses scientism and relativism, two false philosophies that divorce science from culture in general and from tradition in particular. It helps break the isolation of science from the rest of culture by promoting popular science and reasonable history of science. It provides examples of the value of science to culture, discussions of items of the general culture, practical strategies and tools, and case studies. It is for practising professionals, political scientists and science policy students and administrators.
Science and Empire: Knowledge and Networks of Science across the British Empire, 1800-1970 (Britain and the World)
by Brett M. Bennett and Joseph M. HodgeOffering one of the first analyses of how networks of science interacted within the British Empire during the past two centuries, this volume shows how the rise of formalized state networks of science in the mid nineteenth-century led to a constant tension between administrators and scientists.
Science and Empires: Historical Studies about Scientific Development and European Expansion (Boston Studies in the Philosophy and History of Science #136)
by P. Petitjean Cathérine Jami A. M. MoulinSCIENCE AND EMPIRES: FROM THE INTERNATIONAL COLLOQUIUM TO THE BOOK Patrick PETITJEAN, Catherine JAMI and Anne Marie MOULIN The International Colloquium "Science and Empires - Historical Studies about Scientific De velopment and European Expansion" is the product of an International Colloquium, "Sciences and Empires - A Comparative History of Scien tific Exchanges: European Expansion and Scientific Development in Asian, African, American and Oceanian Countries". Organized by the REHSEIS group (Research on Epistemology and History of Exact Sciences and Scientific Institutions) of CNRS (National Center for Scientific Research), the colloquium was held from 3 to 6 April 1990 in the UNESCO building in Paris. This colloquium was an idea of Professor Roshdi Rashed who initiated this field of studies in France some years ago, and proposed "Sciences and Empires" as one of the main research programmes for the The project to organize such a colloquium was a bit REHSEIS group. of a gamble. Its subject, reflected in the title "Sciences and Empires", is not a currently-accepted sub-discipline of the history of science; rather, it refers to a set of questions which found autonomy only recently. The terminology was strongly debated by the participants and, as is frequently suggested in this book, awaits fuller clarification.
Science and Industrialization in the U.S.S.R. (Studies in Soviet History and Society)
by Robert A. Lewis
Science and Its History: A Reassessment of the Historiography of Science (Boston Studies in the Philosophy and History of Science #253)
by Joseph AgassiProfessor Joseph Agassi has published his Towards an Historiography of Science in 1963. It received many reviews by notable academics, including Maurice Finocchiaro, Charles Gillispie, Thomas S. Kuhn, Geroge Mora, Nicholas Rescher, and L. Pearce Williams. It is still in use in many courses in the philosophy and history of science. Here it appears in a revised and updated version with responses to these reviews and with many additional chapters, some already classic, others new. They are all paradigms of the author’s innovative way of writing fresh and engaging chapters in the history of the natural sciences.

Science and Sensibilia by W. V. Quine: The 1980 Immanuel Kant Lectures (History of Analytic Philosophy)
by Robert SinclairIn this book, W. V. Quine’s Immanuel Kant Lectures entitled Science and Sensibilia are published for the first time in English. These lectures represent an important stage in the development of Quine’s later thought, where he is more explicit about the importance of physicalist constraints in his account of the steps from sensory stimulation to scientific theory, and in further using them to assess the extent to which mental vocabulary is defensible. Taken as a unit, these lectures fill an important gap in our understanding of his philosophical development from his 1973 work The Roots of Reference to his later work. The volume further contains an introduction that outlines the content and philosophical significance of the lectures. In addition, several essays written by leading scholars of Quine’s philosophy provide further insight into the important issues raised in the lectures.
Science and Society: Understanding Scientific Methodology, Energy, Climate, and Sustainability
by Eric S. SwansonThis undergraduate textbook educates non-science majors—our future policy makers—on how science works, the rules that underpin our existence, our impact on nature, and nature's impact on us. The book provides a concise, historically based, non-mathematical treatment of modern physics relevant to societal issues. It challenges readers to examine the problems we face (and their own beliefs) in light of the scientific method.With a narrative structure, Science and Society explains the scientific process and the power it brings to dealing with the natural world. The reader will gain a deeper understanding of scientific results reported by the media, and thus the tools to develop a rational, fact-based assessment of energy and resource policy.Praise for Science and Society:"Anyone who thinks society can be managed without science should think again, or better: read this book. Eric Swanson explains how science permeates society, and with simple examples of the scientific process he shows its special power in dealing with the natural world. This is a must read for the world's seven billion scientists."F.E. Close, OBE, Oxford University, author of, among others, "Half-Life: The Divided Life of Bruno Pontecorvo, Physicist or Spy", "The Infinity Puzzle", and "Neutrino"
Science and Sustainability: Learning from Indigenous Wisdom
by J. HendryIndigenous peoples have passed down vital knowledge for generations from which local plants help cure common ailments, to which parts of the land are unsuitable for buildings because of earthquakes. Here, Hendry examines science through these indigenous roots, problematizing the idea that Western science is the only type that deserves that name.
Science and Technology from Global and Historical Perspectives
by Bahattin KaragözoğluThis book provides science and technology ethos to a literate person. It starts with a rather detailed treatment of basic concepts in human values, educational status and domains of education, development of science and technology and their contributions to the welfare of society. It describes ways and means of scientific progresses and technological advancements with their historical perspectives including scientific viewpoints of contributing scientists and technologists. The technical, social, and cultural dimensions are surveyed in relation to acquisition and application of science, and advantages and hindrances of technological developments. Science and Technology is currently taught as a college course in many universities with the intention to introduce topics from a global historical perspective so that the reader shall stretch his/her vision by mapping the past to the future. The book can also serve as a primary reference for such courses.
Science and Technology in History: An Approach to Industrial Development
by Ian InksterScience and technology are now recognised as the crucial components of economic development in poor nations, the motors of growth in developing economies, and in contemporary advanced societies. Yet the relationships between science and technology on one hand, and between science-technology and economic modernisation on the other, are little understood and forever changing. This book is about the dynamic connections between science, technology and economic development from the eighteenth century to the present day. Extended treatments of Japan, China and India ensure that the text is not so overtly eurocentric. The book is designed for undergraduate students in economic and social history, science and technology studies and in economic development, as well as for use in more generalised courses in the social sciences.
Science and Technology in Homeric Epics (History of Mechanism and Machine Science #6)
by S. A. PaipetisIn the Homeric Epics, important references to specific autonomous systems and mechanisms of very advanced technology, such as automata and artificial intelligence, as well as to almost modern methods of design and production are included. Even if those features of Homeric science were just poetic concepts (which on many occasions does not explain the astonishing details of design and manufacture, like the ones included in the present volume), they seem to prove that these achievements were well within human capability. In addition, the substantial development of machine theory during the early post-Homeric age shows that the Homeric descriptions were a kind of prophetic conception of these machines, and scientific research must be a quest for the fundamental principles of knowledge available during the Late Bronze Age and the dawn of the Iron Age. Such investigations must of necessity be strongly interdisciplinary and also proceed continuously in time, since, as science progresses, new elements of knowledge are discovered in the Homeric Epics, amenable to scientific analysis. This book brings together papers presented at the international symposium Science and Technology in Homeric Epics, which took place at Ancient Olympia in 2006. It includes a total of 41 contributions, mostly original research papers, covering diverse fields of science and technology, in the modern sense of these words.
Science and the Building of a New Japan
by M. LowThis book highlights the importance of individuals in the shaping of postwar Japan by providing an historical account of how physicists constituted an influential elite. An history of science perspective provides insight into their role, helping us to understand the hybrid identity of Japanese scientists, and how they reinvented not only themselves, but also Japan. The book is special in that it uses the history of science to deal with issues relating to Japanese identity, and how it was transformed in the decades after Japan's defeat. It explores the lives and work of seven physicists, two of whom were Nobel prize winners. It makes use of little-known Occupation period documents, personal papers of physicists, and Japanese language source material.
Science and the Decolonization of Social Theory: Unthinking Modernity
by Gennaro AscioneThis book addresses the ideological figure of modernity, its presumed historical significance as an era, and its theoretical adequacy as a frame. It shows how science is evoked to prevent the sociological imagination from elaborating non-Eurocentric categories and terminologies that are more adequate for a global age. The idea of modernity should not only be contested, but radically unthought in its foundational assumptions. These assumptions inform concepts such as secularization, emancipation, the 'global' and accumulation of capital. This book frees these concepts from ethnocentrism and discloses a path toward a new, non-Eurocentric, global social theory. Gennaro Ascione explores the transformative potential of decolonizing knowledge through a radical reconsideration of the historical and epistemological role that the intellectual reference to science plays in the construction of concepts. This ground-breaking work challenges social theorists to think globally beyond modernity, bringing together social theory and science in an unprecedented way. Importantly, it makes accessible a new space of missing theorization for further developments and inquiries in the field.
Science and the Quest for Reality (Main Trends of the Modern World)
by Alfred I. TauberScience and the Quest for Reality is an interdisciplinary anthology that situates contemporary science within its complex philosophical, historical, and sociological contexts. The anthology is divided between, firstly, characterizing science as an intellectual activity and, secondly, defining its social role. The philosophical and historical vicissitudes of science's truth claims has raised profound questions concerning the role of science in society beyond its technological innovations. The deeper philosophical issues thus complement the critical inquiry concerning the broader social and ethical influence of contemporary science. In the tradition of the 'Main Trends of the Modern World' series, this volume includes both classical and contemporary works on the subject.
