Produktinformationen zu „Pursuing the Unity of Science (PDF)“
This volume explores the unity of science movement, providing a synthetic view of its pursuits and placing it in its historical context as a scientific and political force. Through a coherent set of original case studies that look at the significance of various projects and strategies for unification, the essays demonstrate the great variety of manifestations of this ambitious pursuit. In so doing the book makes visible important historical developments, showing how scientists participated in, and actively helped to create, an interwar ideology of unification and bringing to light the cultural and political significance of this enterprise.
