History

Welcome to the science wars — a long-running battle over the status of scientific knowledge that began in ancient Greece, raged furiously among scientists, social scientists, and humanists during the 1990s, and has re-emerged in today's conflict between science and religion over issues such as evolution. Join Professor Steven L. Goldman and discover a better understanding of the competing conceptions of scientific knowledge from the onset of the Scientific Revolution in the 1600s to the present.
