Abstract

This paper covers two major contentious points in the history of the relationship between the sciences and social thought - the question of the character of ideological intervention within the sciences and the effect of a scientific discovery upon the ideological and cultural milieu in which it appears. In particular it uses the construction of Darwin's Descent of Manto illustrate a number of general points about this relationship.
