Sean M. O'Connor (University of Washington - School of Law) has posted The Means of Innovation, Ch 4: Science As Knowledge Through Contemplative Systematic Study (The Means of Innovation: Creation, Control, Method+ology (Oxford University Press, Forthcoming)) on SSRN. Here is the abstract:
This Chapter follows the format of Chapter 3 to document the origins and development of “science,” And just as Chapter 3 was not a traditional history of art, this Chapter is not a conventional history of Science. Rather, the goal is to understand development of the term and concept science in its sense of systematic Study to establish our second meta method.
