Sommario/riassunto

The history of Western philosophy and science is marked by numerous moments when a major development has emerged from conditions that



are manifestly adverse to intellectual activity. This book surveys a wide range of such cases, and considers how these achievements were possible and how adversity helped shape the ideas that emerged from these conditions.
