The rapidity with which knowledge changes makes much of past
science obsolete, and often just wrong, from the present's point of
view. We no longer think, for example, that heat is a material
substance transferred from hot to cold bodies. But is wrong science
always or even usually bad science? The essays in this volume argue
by example that much of the past's rejected science, wrong in
retrospect though it may be - and sometimes markedly so - was
nevertheless sound and exemplary of enduring standards that
transcend the particularities of culture and locale.
