Marcus titled “Science and Technology." Examining the early field of the history of science and technology, Marcus writes, “Historians wanted to know how great inventors and great companies achieved their greatness.” (pg. 334) In this regard, “historians wanted to know what went on in the heads of geniuses or what were the milestones on the road to modern knowledge and application.” (pg. 335) Later, the postmodernists, spearheaded by Thomas S. Kuhn, “asserted that scientific knowledge was not the province of and did not reflect simply the genius of individuals but rather it was the product of communities of scientists.” (pg. 335) The postmodernists also expanded studies of technology and science from the limits of modern definitions to take into account what contemporaries in the nineteenth century would have considered science and technology, broadening the definition and subjects of historians’ inquiry.
