Recently, however, a breakdown of confidence in the outcome of worldwide industrialism and a growing concern over threats to the earth's ecosystems have brought mounting criticism of specialized, exploitative science. Demands for conservation and social responsibility are leading to a reappraisal of the whole philosophy of science that has been dominant for three centuries, and many observers see this as a new scientific revolution, comparable in significance with that of the seventeenth century.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51943675003168,"sku":"NEW0521105595","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/empiricism-and-geographical-thought-from-francis-bacon-to-alexander-von-humbolt-cambridge-geographical-studies-series-number-15-0521105595","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
