Giordano Bruno and Renaissance Science

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Gatti, Hilary, PUBLISHER: Cornell University Press, The Renaissance philosopher Giordano Bruno was a notable supporter of the new ong>scienceong> that arose during his lifetime; his role in its development has been debated ever since the early seventeenth century. Hilary Gatti here reevaluates Bruno's contribution to the scientific revolution, in the process challenging the view that now dominates Bruno criticism among English-language scholars. Gatti reinstates Bruno as a scientific thinker and occasional investigator of considerable significance and power whose work participates in the excitement aroused by the new ong>scienceong> and its methods. Her original research emphasizes the importance of Bruno's links to the magnetic philosophers, from Ficino to Gilbert; Bruno's reading and extension of Copernicus's work on the motions of the earth; the importance of Bruno's mathematics; and his work on the art of memory seen as a picture logic, which she examines in the light of the crises of visualization in present-day ong>scienceong>. She concludes by emphasizing Bruno's ethics of scientific discovery. Acquista Ora

Scientific Growth: Essays on the Social Organization and

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Ben-David, Joseph, PUBLISHER: University of California Press, A pioneer and major thinker in the sociology of ong>scienceong>, Joseph Ben-David wrote with refreshing directness on questions central to the history and sociology of ong>scienceong>. As they are combined here, Ben-David's essays reveal the richness and synthetic power of his intellect in a way his separate publications never did. Two themes form the heart of Ben-David's ground-breaking work: the emergence, existence, and growth of ong>scienceong> as a distinctive activity within society, governed by a specific "scientific ethos"; and the social construction both of new objects of scientific study and of new scientific disciplines. Ben-David argues that only where the scientist's social role is institutionalized (i.e., recognized as legitimate by society at large), can ong>scienceong> as a sustained and continuous activity exist and thrive. By the same token, new scientific objects and disciplines emerge where social circumstances encourage and sustain new ("hybridized") social roles. Ben-David's is a distinctly historical sociology of ong>scienceong>, providing a theoretical framework capable of integrating both the historical and the synchronic approaches; it is also complementary to the perspective of the sociology of scientific knowledge.

On Creativity

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Bohm, David / Nichol, Lee, PUBLISHER: Routledge, David Bohm is widely recognized for his significant contributions to the discussion on the relationship between art and ong>scienceong>. On Creativity is a collection of essays by Bohm, which are all related directly to the nature of creativity - primarily the latent creativity in the human mind, but interestingly enough, to the creativity in nature and the universe at large as well. A significant portion of the material draws overtly from Bohm's perceptions as a practising scientist - his notions of what underlies a paradigm shift, or how laws of nature, theories and hypotheses are perceived, rationalized and axiomatized. However, the novelty and appeal of Bohm's views of these processes is the suggestion that the work of the visual artist is remarkably similar to that of the scientist. He explores these similarities at length and even goes so far as to suggest that the creative processes of the scientist and the artist are at work in every person. On Creativity is a fascinating read for Bohm aficionados and for those interested in exploring the relation between creativity in art and ong>scienceong>.

The Science Question in Feminism

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Harding, Sandra, PUBLISHER: Cornell University Press, Can ong>scienceong>, steeped in Western, masculine, bourgeois endeavors, nevertheless be used for emancipatory ends? In this major contribution to the debate over the role gender plays in the scientific enterprise, Sandra Harding pursues that question, challenging the intellectual and social foundations of scientific thought.Harding provides the first comprehensive and critical survey of the feminist ong>scienceong> critiques, and examines inquiries into the androcentricism that has endured since the birth of modern ong>scienceong>. Harding critiques three epistemological approaches: feminist empiricism, which identifies only bad ong>scienceong> as the problem; the feminist standpoint, which holds that women's social experience provides a unique starting point for discovering masculine bias in ong>scienceong>; and feminist postmodernism, which disputes the most basic scientific assumptions. She points out the tensions among these stances and the inadequate concepts that inform their analyses, yet maintains that the critical discourse they foster is vital to the quest for a ong>scienceong> informed by emancipatory morals and politics.
