解説
This is a re-examination of the social, cultural and intellectual context of the origins of modern science. The setting is not the laboratory, but the literary salons of 17th- and 18th-century France, and the action takes place between Europe's last great witch-hunts and the emergence of the modern world. The elite of French society accepted science largely because of their personal involvement and fascination with the emerging "philosophy of nature". Members of salon society, often especially women, were avid readers of works of natural philosophy and active participants in experiments for the edification of their peers. Some of these women went on to champion the new science and played a significant role in securing its acceptance by polite society. With the acceptance and triumph of the new science came a prestige that made it a model of what rationality should be, and the Enlightenment adopted the methods of scientific thought as the model for human progress.
