Table of ContentsReviewsAn outstanding contribution to a little developed aspect of the philosophy and history of science. Marx W. Wartofsky, Baruch College This is a lively and well-written account of what is too often a deadly dull topic that appeals only to masochistic cognoscenti. Because it asks questions that diplomatic historians ought to be asking, it is much to be welcomed. -Frank Ninkovich, The International History Review, March 2003. This is a great book. It clearly and concisely does what it sets out to do: It examines the basic philosophical and sociological theories of the role of aesthetics in science, it identifies the critical assumptions and contradictions that differentiate these views, and it provides a carefully reasoned, well-documented and novel approach to the issues. Best of all, the book is eminently readable. Anyone interested in the bases of scientific controversies, the nature of scientific revolutions, or the similarities and differences between the sciences and the arts should definitely read McAllister's book. It may prove to be as fundamental as Thomas S. Kuhn's Structure of Scientific Revolutions. -American Scientist A valuable, important, persuasively argued book. Highly recommended. -Choice An outstanding contribution to a little developed aspect of the philosophy and history of science. -Marx W. Wartofsky, Baruch College <p> A valuable, important, persuasively argued book. Highly recommended. Choice Author InformationJames W.
