Description
The Central task of the work is to identify what the author calls"the European themata"-those general features of style and motivation which characterise modern western science. Besides this, the book also has two subsidiary concerns;firstly, to develop a conceptual framework for the career of science in general and of the relations between science and philosophy in particular. A four fold framework is developed for conceptualising the philosophical history of the sciences;this framework situates science in four contexts:science as a problem, and science as a hope.The second subsidiary task is the consideration of the problem of epistemic transformation.Three such transformations-the linguistic, the ecological and the feminist- are examined in great depth and detail.
