	THE RETURN OF POLITICAL SCIENCE:
		The history of science under Stalin and Hitler is often contrasted with that in the 'democratic' West, where science is supposedly allowed to progress unhindered by the ideological baggage of a totalitarian society.
		If science is measured by the technologies it produces, it is hard to sustain the idea that science is unaffected by politics; microwave ovens, pocket calculators, compact disc players, and laser surgery, have all resulted from military science.
		Science cannot be understood unless it is seen as a subject which emerges from a history of human activity, and therefore is as prone as any sphere of human activity to an analysis based on a class understanding of society.

		Sultan Murad IV Murad IV (June 16, 1612 – February 9, 1640) was the sultan of the Ottoman Empire from 1623 to 1640, known both for restoring the authority of the state and for the brutality of his methods.

		Reevaluations of modem science and its philosophy figure in these assessments because development was conceptualized as transferring to the South sciences, technologies, and their philosophies that were presumed to be responsible for the industrial development of Europe and North America in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
		Sciences, their philosophies, and their relations with the societies that use them should all be explained together.
		The "one science" hypothesis is meaningless even in modern sciences, in light of the valuable proliferation there of specialized research fields, their distinct methods, and distinct representational resources.

		Somewhat more reassuring to those committed to the fields of science and technology, novelist C. Snow was appalled at the lack of technological understanding on the part of much of the public.
		But despite the innumerable positive contributions of science, and despite the remarkable technological innovations that are constantly being fashioned from that science, there is a great challenge to our scientific community today--one that seems likely to intensify in the years to come.
		First, we need "rocket science for beginners": It has often been debated whether scientists need to be exposed to the liberal arts; a more compelling need, in my opinion, is for poets to be exposed to physics.

		Science and technology play an increasing role in the political life of nations and in international politics, and yet students have few opportunities to step back and familiarize themselves with the challenges that arise from this fact.
		Governments are under constant pressure to decide what to fund or favor in scientific and technological policy decisions, and individual citizens live with the ramifications of these decisions for generations.
		This course approaches questions about the politics of science and technology from within a comparative framework, encouraging students to develop an international perspective on this topic.

	Science, Ideology, and the State in the 20th Century (HST 407/507) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		During the past century there was massive growth in the practical power and the cultural authority of science, seen both as a body of knowledge and a social institution.
		In this course we will examine these and related aspects of the political history of science: in particular, the relationships between science as a social institution and the state in its various forms and manifestations, and relationships between science as a body of knowledge and various political philosophies and ideologies.
		The overall course objectives are thus: 1) a deepened understanding of the complex social and political relations of science in recent history; 2) an awareness of some of the main approaches to doing the history of science; and 3) an increased ability to think critically about, do research in, and write about historically significant issues.

	The Galileo Project \| Science \| Benedetto Castelli
		Antonio Castelli was born in Brescia, Italy, in 1578 and took the name Benedetto upon entering the Benedictine order in 1595.
		It was this occasion that prompted Galileo to write a long letter to Castelli on the subject of science and religion, which was later expanded into the Letter to the Grand Duchess Christina.
		Both versions of the letter circulated in manuscript, and the Letter to the Grand Duchess was printed in Strasbourg in 1636.
