This thought-provoking work challenges the traditional dichotomy of pure and applied research, presenting a compelling framework for understanding how scientific inquiry can directly benefit humanity.
The Story
Stokes introduces the concept of "Pasteur's Quadrant," named after the renowned scientist Louis Pasteur, whose groundbreaking work not only advanced scientific knowledge but also addressed practical societal needs. Through an exploration of historical examples, Stokes illustrates how various scientific endeavours can align with both the pursuit of knowledge and the quest for practical application.
