Getting the game right : some plain words on the identity and invention of science / Andrew Cunningham.
Abstract:
'When we set out to study the history of science, are we properly equipped to identify "science" in the past in order to study it? When we decide to put some episode into our account of the history of science, have we identified it correctly: "Was it science" in any meaningful sense?'
