This book analyzes scientific problems within the history of
physics, engineering, chemistry, astronomy and medicine, correlated
with technological applications in the social context. When and how
is tension between disciplines explicitly practised? What is the
conceptual bridge between science researches and the organization
of technological researches in the development of industrial
applications? The authors explain various ways in which the
sciences allowed advanced modelling on the one hand, and the
development of new technological ideas on the other hand. An
emphasis on the role played by mechanisms, production methods and
instruments bestows a benefit on historical and scientific
discourse: theories, institutions, universities, schools for
engineers, social implications as well. Scholars from different
traditions discuss the emergency style of thinking in methodology
and, in theoretical perspective, aim to gather and re-evaluate the
current thinking on this subject. It brings together contributions
from leading experts in the field, and gives much-needed insight
into the subject from a historical point of view. The volume
composition makes for absorbing reading for historians,
philosophers and scientists.
