Abstract
AbstractScientists are mostly not especially reflective on the nature of science itself—or at least not in public. The history, philosophy and sociology (HPS) of science may be of interest, but science is complex and time for contemplation of the enterprise is limited. Pawsey, from the records that remain, was little different. But he had grown up in a family where ideas and values were taken seriously, and in an era that questioned established truths concerning religion, morality, the relations of Empire, the rights of working men (and women), and of course, after WWII, unquestioned loyalty to authorities.
