REVIEWS
“A permanent record of the proceedings of a particularly important Institute for the History of Science, held at the University of Wisconsin in 1957. Seventy-two distinguished historians of science took part in this stimulating and serious exchange of ideas covering many aspects of ancient, medieval, and modern scientific thought.”—The New Scholasticism
“This publication indicates in a striking manner the catholicity of the history of science; professors of philosophy, the history of science, the philosophy of science, history, biology, and metallurgy readily conferred with one another.”—The American Historical Review
