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.
