Reviews
“This detailed study delves into the complexity of the dawn of modern science by considering the interplay between ideology, methodology, metaphysics, and historiography. … The Very Idea of Modern Science is the result of remarkable interdisciplinary erudition and depth. … Bringing a new socio-philosophical dimension to light, it is a must for historians of early modern science and is recommended to scholars and lay readers interested in better understanding the context of modern science.” (Michael Segre, Isis, Vol. 107 (1), March, 2016)
