Scott A. Kleiners Taking The History of Science Really Seriously (2020) will be publicly displayed at the exhibit that self-publishing and book marketing company ReadersMagnet will put up at the 2022 Tucson Festival of Books on March 12-13, 2022, at the University of Arizona Mall, Tucson, AZ.
Taking The History of Science Really Seriously is divided into three parts: a reexamination of the Copernican Revolution (I), history of evolutionary inquiries (II), and genetics (III). The book makes extensive use of primary sources in the history of science, particularly extensive quotations from Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler, Newton, Lyell, and Darwin, as well as research papers in evolutionary genetics available online from jstor.org.
This book is about rationality and objectivity in the history of physical (planetary astronomy and classical physics) and biological sciences (evolution and evolutionary physics). The author offers a modern take on many scientific discussions, including the Copernican Revolution, the Philosophy of Biology, and insights on evolution, as well as the timeline representing a history of one or more converging or diverging scientific disciplines. The book, he says, is an exemplar of how to bracket out the biases of recent science and consider emphatically past paradigms, with all their seemingly crazy metaphysics and limited empirical access, as credible programs of research.
