Science and Polity in France: The End of the Old Regime
Charles Coulston Gillispie
By the end of the eighteenth century, the French dominated the world of science. And although science and politics had little to do with each other directly, there were increasingly frequent intersections. This is a study of those transactions between science and state, knowledge and power - on the eve of the French Revolution.
