The papers given by the Soviet Delegation to the Second
International Congress of the History of Science and Technology in
London in 1931, headed by N. I. Bukharin, exerted a profound
influence on Western historiography of science. Perhaps the most
influential contribution was that of Hessen, who made a long and
classical statement of Marxist historiography, taking Isaac Newton
as his example. The collection, which appeared in Britain at the
height of the Depression, fostered an acute social awareness and a
heated debate among many working scientists. Accredited by some as
"the starting point of a new evaluation of the history of science",
the book reflects the huge social and economic divide between
Socialism and Capitalism present at the time of publication, and
its influence on intellectual culture and scientific advancement.
