As they are combined here, Ben-David's ong>essaysong> reveal the richness and synthetic power ong>ofong> his intellect in a way his separate publications never did.

Ben-David's is a distinctly historical sociology ong>ofong> science, providing a theoretical framework capable ong>ofong> integrating both the historical and the synchronic approaches; it is also complementary to the perspective ong>ofong> the sociology ong>ofong> scientific knowledge.
