Most books on the history of science have been internal' in their
scope and objectives - plotting progress within different branches
of science as the frontiers of knowledge about formal scientific
relationships get pushed back by intellectual advance. The history
of science is thus seen primarily as a record of progressive
intellectual discovery at the hands of individual genius. What
might be called the 'external relations' of science - investigating
the impact of scientific knowledge upon its wider historical
context (and the impact of that context upon the development of
science) - has received much less attention. The unifying theme of
this book, as its title indicates, is the relationship between
science and society.
