Iwan Rhys Morus

    Iwan Rhys Morus is een historicus en hoogleraar Welshe geschiedenis wiens werk de kruising van wetenschap, cultuur en maatschappij onderzoekt. Zijn geschriften onderzoeken hoe wetenschappelijke ideeën en praktijken werden gevormd door historische en sociale contexten, en omgekeerd, hoe de wetenschap de wereld om hen heen transformeerde. Morus biedt een doordringende kijk op de evolutie van denken en technologie, en belicht de ingewikkelde relaties tussen menselijke kennis en historische ontwikkeling. Zijn werk wordt gewaardeerd om zijn diepgang en zijn vermogen om complexe onderwerpen toegankelijk te maken.
