On the Fringe: Where Science Meets Pseudoscience

byMichael Gordin

In On the Fringe, Michael Gordin presents a historical account centered on where Science Meets Pseudoscience. Moving between close detail and context, the book explains the forces surrounding its subject and connects them to the connected fields of history and science. Rather than isolating its subject, the book shows how private experience and public systems continually influenced one another. What emerges is a nuanced account of the subject, its immediate consequences, and its wider meaning. The emphasis stays on explanation, context, and the lived consequences behind the larger argument.
