Balancing internal and external approaches and theory and example, he reveals as few other philosophers of science can the way in which scientists actually work.Canguilhem, Georges is the author of 'Ideology and Rationality in the History of the Life Sciences', published 1990 under ISBN 9780262530941 and ISBN 0262530945.
