Description

Explore the evolution of empiricism through this scholarly collection from Springer. Based on a 2009 workshop organized by the unit for History and Philosophy of Science in Sydney, this volume examines how the body functioned as both a research object and a medium of experience during the early modern period. This work provides a deep look into Baconian science, where the human body plays a central role in the scientific process. By studying the body as both the subject of experience and the object of research, readers gain a new understanding of how knowledge was constructed. This book serves as an important interdisciplinary resource for those studying the history and philosophy of science, offering fresh perspectives on how physical experience shaped scientific thought.
