This course surveys major scientific and technological developments in various
geographical and cultural contexts, including those of Asia, Europe and the United
States. It examines the transformations in the study of astronomy, medicine and natural
philosophy, and compares the approaches to knowledge and the cultural values
attached to science and technology in different societies. In so doing, it places these
developments in their cultural, social and political contexts. It also surveys the
technological innovation since the industrial revolution and how it has increasingly
become a powerful force in transforming the human conditions.
