The Rise of Early Modern Science
by Toby E. Huff
Toby E. Huff examines the long-standing question of why modern science arose in the West rather than in the scientifically advanced civilizations of Islam or China. The author explores the cultural context in which science was carried on in Islam, China, and the West, comparing the religious, legal, philosophical, and institutional systems of each civilization. He finds major clues in the European cultural revolution of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries and in the history of law in the three regions, and he ultimately focuses on the legal concept of corporation, unique to the West, which gave rise to the concepts of neutral space and free inquiry--ideas integral to modern science.
