origens

How did the fundamental scientific concepts—e.g. number, force, heredity, probability—and practices—e.g. experiment, proof, classification—develop in specific historical contexts?

And in what ways did originally local knowledge, devised to solve specific problems, become universalized? These questions form the basis of a theoretically-oriented history of science that seeks to understand the nature of scientific thought and practice as a historical phenomenon, at once dynamic and contingent.
