Description

This scholarly volume from Springer assembles pivotal texts by Boris Hessen and Henryk Grossmann, offering essential contributions to the historiography of the Scientific Revolution and the methodology of science history. The work presents foundational Marxist analyses of how social and economic conditions shaped scientific development during this transformative period. Beyond their theoretical significance, these texts serve as historical documents that illuminate European intellectual life in the early twentieth century, whilst also reflecting the personal trajectories of two remarkable thinkers. Hessen, born a Jewish subject in the Russian Ukraine, participated in the October Revolution before his execution during the Soviet purges. Grossmann's life similarly embodied the complex history of European Jewish intellectuals during this turbulent era. Together, their contributions challenge conventional narratives about scientific progress and demonstrate how material conditions and social structures fundamentally influence the production of knowledge. This collection is essential reading for historians of science, philosophy students, and anyone interested in understanding how revolution and ideology intersected with scientific thought.

Key Features

The Springer volume assembles texts by Boris Hessen and Henryk Grossmann, two influential Marxist historians of science whose work fundamentally shaped historiographical methodology.

This collection provides essential contributions to understanding how social and economic roots determined the trajectory and character of the Scientific Revolution.

The texts function as historical documents illuminating typical European intellectual fates in the first half of the twentieth century, capturing Marxist discourse of the era.

Hessen's and Grossmann's analyses challenge conventional scientific narratives by demonstrating how material conditions and revolutionary politics influenced the development of scientific thought.

The volume belongs to Boston Studies in the Philosophy and History of Science series (volume 278), situating these texts within rigorous academic scholarship on science history.
