About This Item
Dover Publications, October 1993. Paper Back. New. Often considered the founder of the modern study of the history of science, Sarton (d. 1956) in these essays reflects on the indissoluble bond that connects science and the humanities. ''Each scientific result,'' writes Sarton, ''is a fruit of humanity, a proof of its virtue. The almost inconceivable immensity of the universe revealed by his own efforts does not dwarf man except in a purely physical way; it gives a deeper meaning to his life and thought...here are no natural sciences as opposed to humanities; every branch of science or learning is just as natural or humane as you make it.''
