The Disunity of Science by Peter Galison

The Disunity of Science by Peter Galison

Sixteen prominent scientists examine whether the sciences are, or ever were, unified by a single theoretical view of nature or a methodological foundation.

This is a very important work, with contributions by many of the most prominent scholars in science studies...It actually delivers on its promise to renew discussion and develop fresh ideas about the allegation that the sciences are no longer (or never were) unified by a single theoretical view of nature or a methodological foundation. -Michael Lynch, Brunel University
