Book Synopsis Artisan/practitioners and the Rise of the New Sciences, 1400-1600 by : Pamela O. Long
Book excerpt: Artisan/Practitioners offers an introduction to the history of science through new discussion of an influential thesis in the discipline. The "Zilsel thesis" argues that artisans, craftsmen, and other practitioners exerted an important influence on the development of empirical methodologies in the Scientific Revolution, the "new sciences" of the late sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
