The author argues that science should not be studied in isolation from its historical context, but rather as part of a broader social, political, and economic framework. They criticize earlier approaches that focused solely on intellectual content and theoretical machinations, instead emphasizing the importance of experiment, observation, and empirical research. The author also critiques the idea that history of science can be reduced to a simple narrative of ideas, arguing that it is a complex process involving experimentation, observation, and theory-building. Finally, they suggest that studying the context of science is crucial for understanding its development and advances, and that this approach has been influential in shaping the field of history of science.
