"Barbara J. Shapiro traces the surprising genesis of the "fact," a modern concept that, she convincingly demonstrates, originated not in natural science but in legal discourse. She follows the concept's evolution and diffusion across a variety of disciplines in early modern England, examining how the emerging "culture of fact" shaped the epistemological assumptions of each intellectual enterprise."--BOOK JACKET.

Excerpts

The concept of "fact" took shape, I have suggested, in the legal arena and was then carried into other intellectual endeavors until it became part and parcel of the generally held habits of thought of late-seventeenth- and early-eighteenth-century English culture.
