Scientific and Medical Knowledge Production, 1796-1918

Volume I: Curiosity
Herausgeber: Boddice, Rob

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This volume focuses on curiosity, given as the scientist's chief motivating factor for the finding of new facts, and as an essential character trait for anyone entering the scientific life. It is also the source of controversy and criticism, since curiosity alone increasingly looked amoral at best and immoral at worst.
