Автор: Mayr E.
Аннотация:
Anything that changes in lime has. by definition, a history — the universe, countries, dynasties, art and philosophy, and ideas. Science also, ever since its emergence from myths and early philosophies, has experienced a steady historical change and is thus a legitimate subject for the historian. Because the essence of science is the continuing process of problem solving in the quest for an understanding of the world in which we live, a history of science is first a history of the problems of science and their solution or attempted solutions. But it is also a history of the development of the principles that form the conceptual framework of science. Because the great controversies of the past often reach into modern science, many current arguments cannot be fully understood unless one understands their history.
