Explore the historical struggle for intellectual independence with "Freedom in Science and Teaching," featuring the translated work of Ernst Haeckel alongside contributions from T.H. Huxley. This volume delves into the crucial debates surrounding freedom of thought, scientific freedom, and academic freedom in the context of 19th-century science and society.
Focusing on the ideas of Rudolf Virchow, a central figure in these discussions, the book examines the relationship between scientific inquiry and state influence. Haeckel's perspective, presented here in translation, provides valuable insight into the challenges faced by researchers and educators advocating for unfettered exploration and dissemination of knowledge.
A vital contribution to the history of science and education, "Freedom in Science and Teaching" raises timeless questions about the social responsibility of science and the importance of intellectual autonomy. This meticulously prepared print edition offers a window into the historical context of these enduring debates, relevant to anyone interested in the ongoing dialogue between science and society.
