Description

George Canguilhem is one of the most distinguished French scholars of our time. This collection of his later essays discusses the role played by ideological factors in determining the direction, if not the results, of scientific work. Balancing internal and external approaches and theory and example, he reveals as few other philosophers of science can the way in which scientists actually work.
