Publisher Description: Takes the reader through a tour of the lives, times, and writings of such key bachelors of Science as Bacon, Descartes, Newton, and Gassendi. This book situates these empiricist philosophers and their canonical reputations within the larger framework of the de facto 'masculinization of science' and 'scientizing of masculinity' in the 17th century. |
