Descrizione del libro

In this book, which was originally published in 1968, Professor Pantin examines the relations between the sciences. He considers why certain kinds of classification are especially acceptable to the human mind, and what are the forces, often unrecognised, which give the impulse to scientific research and influence its direction.
