Note(s) : Stephen Gaukroger presents an original account of the development of empirical science
and the understanding of human behaviour from the mid-eighteenth century. Since the
seventeenth century, science in the west has undergone a unique form of cumulative
development in which it has been consolidated through integration into and shaping
of a culture. But in the eighteenth century, science was cut loose from the legitimating
culture in which it had had a public rationale as a fruitful and worthwhile form of
enquiry. What kept it afloat between the middle of the eighteenth and the middle of
the nineteenth centuries, when its legitimacy began to hinge on an intimate link with
technology? The answer lies in large part in an abrupt but fundamental shift in how
the tasks of scientific enquiry were conceived, from the natural realm to the human
realm
