Abstract

The History and Method of Science
Smith, Preserved | August 17, 1921 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the book "Studies in the History and Method of Science," edited by Charles Singer. When one remembers in what lowly estate Science has suffered in the past, from the arrogance of the philosophers, from the rage of the theologians; and from the contempt of the men of the world; and when one compares this with the esteem in which science is now held, it seems that the fable of Cinderella has again come true and that the poor wench once despised for doing chores of mankind and as fit for nothing else, had at last married the fairy prince and come into the kingdom, while her two haughty sisters, politics and religion, must be content with what humble place in the court of History, Science allows them.
