Now in its third edition, The Rise of Early Modern Science argues
that to understand why modern science arose in the West it is
essential to study not only the technical aspects of scientific
thought but also the religious, legal and institutional
arrangements that either opened the doors for enquiry, or
restricted scientific investigations. Toby E. Huff explores how the
newly invented universities of the twelfth and thirteenth
centuries, and the European legal revolution, created a neutral
space that gave birth to the scientific revolution. Including
expanded comparative analysis of the European, Islamic and Chinese
legal systems, Huff now responds to the debates of the last decade
to explain why the Western world was set apart from other
civilisations.
