Science and Culture: Lisa Jardine, Jean Michel Massing and Simon
Schaffer is a collection of interviews that are being published as a
book for the first time. These interviews have been conducted by one
of England’s leading social anthropologists and historians,
Professor Alan Macfarlane. Filmed over a period of several years, the
three conversations in this volume are part of the series Creative
Lives and Works. These transcriptions form a part of a larger set of
interviews that cut across various disciplines, from the social
sciences and the sciences to the performing and visual arts. The
current volume is on three foremost historians of science. All
civilizations throughout history have both produced and accumulated
knowledge. This inquisitiveness about learning, and about nature, is
reflected in science and culture. Renaissance thinkers such as Galilei
Galileo, Leonardo da Vinci and Isaac Newton were the ‘first true
scientists’ of the modern world. Lisa Jardine, Jean Michel Massing
and Simon Schaffer bring to life their own enriching experiences and
show us that the future of science cannot be determined without taking
into account its philosophical problems and the study of complexities
associated with it. The book will be of enormous value not just to
those interested in the subject of History of Science and Philosophy,
Archaeology and Ethnocultural Studies but also who are curious to
learn how civilizations and their cultures impact the study of
science. Please note: This title is co-published with Social Science
Press, New Delhi. Taylor & Francis does not sell or distribute the
Hardback in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
