Homo ET Machina
We have but one simple method of delivering our sentiments, namely, we must bring men to particulars and their regular series and order, and they must for a while renounce their notions, and begin to form an acquaintance with things. [Translated from Francis Bacon, Novum organum, 1620]1 Truth, he [Bacon] wrote, was not the daughter of Authority, but of Time. [ The Cambridge modern history, 1902]2
A Cambridge View of Modernity
It has been proposed, and accepted, commonly, often as part of a whiggish tale of humanity breaking the shackles of the past, that an Early Modern Europe paved the way, with its Scientific Revolution, for an 'industrial condition' to come. Yet interpretations of that 'revolution' have involved making some suspect general conclusions about a new, standard 'rationality' of conduct and a new norm suitable for constructed science. Furthermore, common…
Professionalism and Rationality
In an earlier paper the professions were identified as a primarily Anglo-Saxon phenomenon, and associated with economic under-performance. The present paper goes further by questioning the theoretical interpretations of professionalism in the writings of some of the founding fathers, and occasionally of their translators. We variously question here Weber's restricted concept of the entrepreneur, Parsons's rendering of these ideas in English, the …

Prometheus Bound
"Transformations and the Myth of "Engineering Science
Some commentators have argued that, after revolutionary shift or transformation, there was generated, probably in the latter 19th century, distinctly modern technology, different from its predecessors. This notion is broadly understood from the following claims: there was a radical transformation in the entire human environment, largely as result of the impact of the mathematical and physical sciences upon technology (Mumford); Having come
Professionalism and Work Organisation
McCormick (1985) has disputed parts of our thesis (1983a) that a special AngloSaxon idea of professionalism has contributed to forming a characteristic British pattern of work organisation, which itself has had harmful effects for the standing of production and of manufacturing in general. He sees our explanation as unidimensional, and also argues that the development of the theme has some methodological shortcomings. Like all arguments, our pres…
Newton on a Horse
In the absence of a guiding theory, problems of technology, like those of the most primitive fields of science, had to be solved empirically" ( The new Cambridge modern history, concerning 1688-1751). "The striking fact is not merely that mathematical aptitude was diffused amongst large numbers of dons, divines, physicians, antiquaries and gentry ...; but that it had become with many of them a passion, a supposed key to the knowledge of man, soci…
Constructed Science and the Seventeenth Century 'Revolution
Science and the 'Neolithic Paradox
A Price to Pay? Professionalism and Work Organization in Britain and West Germany
There tends to be more extensive occupational specialization outside the core production area in British manufacturing companies than in German ones. This appears to be associated with the emphasis in Britain on professionalism in industry, a concept which is largely absent in Germany. The British approach is seen to have unfavourable consequences for the status of production and of manufacturing industry in general, with quite likely depressing …
Technical change and the ‘technology’ myth
In recent years, historians and other English-speaking commentators on technical change and technical functions have often chosen to discuss these matters under the heading ‘technology’. Thus, there have been discussions about such matters as ‘echnological innovation’, ‘technological invention’, and even ‘the imperatives of technology’, ‘the technostructure’ and ‘technological drivenness’.1 One economist with a special interest in historical matt…
The Myth of a British Industrial Revolution
The History of Technology
Robert P. Multhauf has written a useful paper in Technology and Culture which points the way toward certain basic questions which can be posed about the history of technology.1 The start of the present interest in the subject was, in his view, the 1884 theory of the British industrial revolution by Arnold Toynbee. The most comprehensive single study in this specialty has been the five-volume History of Technology (1954-58) by Charles Singer and o…
