Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book argues that German and French scienceâ"which together shaped the trajectory of scientific achievement in the 19th centuryâ"developed on distinct and often contrasting ideological foundations. Contrasting the achievements of scientists like Pasteur and Weierstrass, the author argues that French scientists worked primarily through the use of "good sense," or intuition, while German scientists largely succeeded in disciplines that could be articulated with the use of deductive reasoning. Ultimately, the author argues that each approach brought unique strengths and weaknesses to the development of scientific disciplines. The author supports this argument through a detailed examination of historical case studies drawn from mathematics, physics, and chemistry, and offers bold insights into the history, philosophy, and sociology of science.
