Science Incarnate Historical Embodiments of Natural Knowledge by Christopher Lawrence
We have specific images of the kinds of bodies that house great minds. Focusing on the 17th century to the present, this book examines how intellectuals have sought to establish the value and authority of their ideas through public displays of their private life.
