Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les disciplines étudiant la formation de la connaissance scientifique ont toujours occupé une place à part dans le paysage intellectuel. A l'instar de la recherche scientifique, l'histoire, la philosophie et la sociologie des sciences, ont toutes pour ambition d'augmenter la rationalité du monde. Ce que le scientifique fait dans l'urgence de la recherche, avec enthousiasme, n'est pas différent du travail postérieur de l'historien et du philosophe. Si ces derniers y perdent en intensité, ils ont le recul qui leur permet de mieux apprécier les raisons de la transformation des sciences. C'est par surcroît de rationalité que l'histoire, la philosophie et la sociologie des sciences peuvent contribuer à la formation des scientifiques.

Download or read book The Palgrave Handbook of the History of Human Sciences written by David McCallum and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-08-27 with total page 1930 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Palgrave Handbook of the History of Human Sciences offers a uniquely comprehensive and global overview of the evolution of ideas, concepts and policies within the human sciences. Drawn from histories of the social and psychological sciences, anthropology, the history and philosophy of science, and the history of ideas, this collection analyses the health and welfare of populations, evidence of the changing nature of our local communities, cities, societies or global movements, and studies the way our humanness or ‘human nature’ undergoes shifts because of broader technological shifts or patterns of living. This Handbook serves as an authoritative reference to a vast source of representative scholarly work in interdisciplinary fields, a means of understanding patterns of social change and the conduct of institutions, as well as the histories of these ‘ways of knowing’ probe the contexts, circumstances and conditions which underpin continuity and change in the way we count, analyse and understand ourselves in our different social worlds. It reflects a critical scholarly interest in both traditional and emerging concerns on the relations between the biological and social sciences, and between these and changes and continuities in societies and conducts, as 21st century research moves into new intellectual and geographic territories, more diverse fields and global problematics.
Download or read book Being Human written by Roger Smith and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2007-09-11 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Challenging commonly held biological, religious, and ethical beliefs, internationally well known historian of science Roger Smith boldly argues that human nature is not some "thing" awaiting discovery but is active in understanding itself. According to Smith, "being human" is a self-creation made possible through a reflective circle of thought and action, with a past and a future, and studying this "history" from a range of perspectives is fundamental to human self-understanding. Smith's argument brings together historical and contemporary debates concerning materialism and human nature and the relations of the different fields of knowledge. He draws on classic writings from across the human sciences, touching on sociology, anthropology, brain sciences, history, philosophical hermeneutics, and critical theory, and demonstrates that there is no position outside history for an absolutely objective or eternally valid view of human nature. The question "what is human?" does not have and could not possible have one answer. Instead, there exists a variety of answers for different purposes, and there are good reasons for the many conceptions of what it is to be human. Smith does not treat human nature as only biological, economic, or moral, but as a multidimensional subject that should be considered in its proper historical context. By understanding this context, Smith believes, we can come to a truer understanding of ourselves. Persuasively and elegantly written, Being Human takes an important new turn in the philosophical study of being human.
Download or read book A History of Biology written by Michel Morange and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2023-08-15 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive history of the biological sciences from antiquity to the modern era This book presents a global history of the biological sciences from ancient times to today, providing needed perspective on the development of biological thought while shedding light on the field's upheavals and key breakthroughs through the ages. Michel Morange brings to life the dynamic interplay of science, society, and biology’s many subdisciplines, enabling readers to better appreciate the interdisciplinary exchanges that have shaped the field over the centuries. Each chapter of this incisive book focuses on a specific period in the history of biology, describing the major transformations that occurred, the enduring scientific concerns behind these changes, and the implications of yesterday's science for today's. Morange covers everything from the first cell theory to the origins of the concept of ecosystems, and offers perspectives on areas that are often neglected by historians of biology, such as ecology, ethology, and plant biology. Along the way, he highlights the contributions of technology, the important role of hypothesis and experimentation, and the cultural contexts in which some of the most breathtaking discoveries in biology were made. Unrivaled in scope and written by a world-renowned historian of science, A History of Biology is an ideal introduction for students and experts alike, and essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the present state of biological knowledge.

Download or read book Pour une histoire des sciences part enti re written by Jacques Roger and published by Albin Michel. This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'histoire des sciences est-elle une histoire comme les autres ? Longtemps apanage exclusif des philosophes, elle était alors, au mieux, réduite à une reconstitution des avancées glorieuses de la science, au pire, à un catalogue des égarements de l'intelligence. Professeur à la Sorbonne et directeur à l'E.H.E.S.S. (École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales), en même temps qu'il assumait la responsabilité du Centre international de synthèse et du Centre Koyré, Jacques Roger (1920-1990) a, tout au long de sa carrière, défendu et réalisé le projet d'une intégration de la science au sein de l'histoire intellectuelle et culturelle. Dû aux soins de Claude Blanckaert (Centre Koyré) et de Jean Gayon (université de Bourgogne), ce livre, dont certains textes paraissent pour la première fois en France, constitue un ardent plaidoyer en faveur d'« une histoire historienne des sciences ». L'auteur des Sciences de la vie, biographe de Buffon, y fait l'éclatante démonstration de la nécessité de retrouver l'unité de l'esprit humain, par-delà l'indifférence mutuelle entre le scientifique et le littéraire.

Download or read book Histoire des sciences l poque moderne written by Simone Mazauric and published by Armand Colin. This book was released on 2009 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'époque moderne est une période particulièrement importante dans l'histoire des sciences occidentales. De la Renaissance aux Lumières, on assiste en Europe à une transformation remarquable des pratiques savantes qui se traduit par l'émergence de nouveaux savoirs, dont savants et philosophes, à la fin du XVIIIe siècle, se plairont à dresser l'inventaire, afin d'attester la réalité d'un progrès que nul ne remet alors en question. A ce processus ont contribué tous ceux que l'on tient pour les " pères " de la science moderne : Copernic, Paracelse, Kepler, Galilée, Descartes, Newton, mais aussi Bacon, Pascal, Maupertuis ou Lavoisier. Mais plus qu'à ces " grands hommes " qui focalisent sur eux l'attention des historiens, c'est à l'analyse de cette " révolution " que veut se consacrer cet ouvrage en la resituant au sein d'une configuration globale, aux multiples composantes contextuelles, philosophiques, religieuses, sociales et politiques.

Book excerpt: In line with the resurgence of interest in the history of archaeology manifested over the past decade, this volume aims to highlight state-of-the art research across several topics and areas, and to stimulate new approaches and studies in the field. With their shared historiographical commitment, the authors, leading scholars and emerging researchers, draw from a wide range of case studies to address major themes such as historical sources and methods; questions of archaeological practices and the practical aspects of knowledge production; ‘visualizing archaeology’ and the multiple roles of iconography and imagery; and ‘questions of identity’ at local, national and international levels.
