by Alfred I Tauber (Author)
Henry David Thoreau was caught at a critical turn in the history of science, between the ebb of Romanticism and the rising tide of positivism. This book shows how he responded to the challenges posed by the new ideal of objectivity not by rejecting the scientific world view, but by humanizing it for himself.
