The articles in this volume have been first presented during an
international Conference organised by the Greek Society for the
History of Science and Technology in June 1990 at Corfu. The
Society was founded in 1989 and planned to hold a series of
meetings to impress upon an audience comprised mainly by Greek
students and scholars, the point that history of science is an
autonomous discipline with its own plurality of approaches
developed over the years as a result of long discussions and
disputes within the community of historians of science. The
Conference took place at a time when more and more people came to
realise that the future of the Greek Universities and Research
Centres depends not only on the progress of the institutional
reforms, but also very crucially on the establishment of new and
modern subject areas. Though there have been significant steps
towards such a direction in the physical sciences, mathematics and
engineering, the situation in the so-called humanities has been, at
best, confusing. Political expediencies of the post war years and
ideological commitments to a glorious, yet very distant past,
paralysed the development of the humanities and constrained them
within a framework which could not allow much more than a
philological approach.
