Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. dj in mylar; black c w/gilt spine titles; 321 clean, unmarked pages/index. The author argues that Francis Bacon's concept of scientific "disinterestedness" wasn't purely intellectual but deeply intertwined with early modern politics, economics (mercantilism), and courtly power struggles, aiming to solidify the monarchy against Parliament by shifting focus from divine/legal authority to observable, empirical knowledge. Solomon shows how Bacon used new scientific methods to serve political ends, transforming commercial practices and personal interests into a broader public purpose for the state. frontis (illustrator).…

Paperback. Condition: New. How we arrived at a capacity for taking cold, hard looks at the facts of nature-and whether we ever truly have done so-are questions that continue to engage both historians of science and students of culture. Historians of modern European intellectual history commonly credit Francis Bacon with laying the groundwork for a mode of study that begins without presuppositions, religious or otherwise, the kind of searching we know as research and long have credited as being "disinterested." In Objectivity in the Making, Julie Robin Solomon shows how "disinterestedness" became a dominant principle of intellectual modernity by examining Bacon's notion of scientific self-distancing against the background of early modern political ideology, socioeconomic behavior, and traditions of learning. Solomon places him between two cultures-Jacobean monarchical mercantilism and the self-distancing strategies of early-seventeenth-century traders and travelers.She shows that Bacon-by virtue of his prominent political position within the Jacobean court, familiarity with prevailing commercial practices, and humanistic learning-made his signal contributions to natural philosophy because of where he stood at a critical juncture.…

Condition: as new. Baltimore : Johns Hopkins University Press, 1998. Hardcover. Dustjacket. 321 pp. Condition : as new. - How have we arrived at a capacity for taking cold, hard looks at the facts of nature - and whether we ever truly have done so - are questions that continue to engage both historians of science and students of culture. In any such discussion, Francis Bacon figures prominantly. Historians of modern European intellectual history commonly credit Bacon with laying the groundwork for a mode of study that begins without presuppositions, religious or otherwise, the kind of searching we know as research and long have credited as being disinterested. In this work, the author shows how disinterestedness became a dominant principle of intellectual modernity by examining Bacon's notion of self-distancing against the background of early modern political ideology, socioeconomic behaviour, and traditions of learning. The author places him between two cultures - Jacobean monarchical mercantilism and the self-distancing strategies of the early 17th-century traders and travellers. She shows that Bacon - by virtue of his prominant political position within the Jacobean court, familiarity with prevailing commercial practices, and humanistic learning - made his signal contributions to natural philosophy because of where he stood at a critical juncture. While showing how much of the rise of scientific objectivity owed to sociohistorical circumstances, Solomon nevertheless challenges the naive, single-minded reliance upon the explanatory power of social-construction theory within the context of literary and cultural studies of science.

Paperback. Condition: New. Sexual exploitation is becoming endemic in our society. It involves victims being coerced to enter abusive sexual relationships with individuals or gangs. It can occur with children from care homes - or from more privileged backgrounds. Sexual exploitation is so addictive that it is really difficult to extract the victims. This is the first book that we are aware of that examines exploitation using a psychoanalytic framework which makes the behaviour and motives of victims and, in some cases, exploiters comprehensible. The book looks at a range of situations from care homes to refugee camps and elite schools.We expect this book to become indispensable for social workers, psychotherapists, counsellors, and care workers who have to tackle child sexual exploitation. Giving up an addiction is a struggle. Our clinical examples show how much and what kinds of work are needed to start to release girls from their addiction to their exploiters.The roots of vulnerability lie in an attack on the maternal function. This is reflected in the huge expansion of day-care taking children from as little as three months old. Care for mothers and children can be transformed. We demonstrate how powerful properly organised maternal-type care can be, to give young people a sound start to their lives.…
