| 概要 | The author is one of the founders of the social history of science. Here he offers an introduction to the developments of an era, as well as the scholarship concerning two centuries that saw vast chan...es in our approach to nature and truth. The focus is on six developments, from the abandonment of the Greek worldview and the rejection of Aristotelian binary physics to the medical revolution and the development of methods for establishing scientific certainty. Paper edition (unseen), $12.50. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR An introduction to a large & complicated subject that has come to be called the Scientific Revolution, this book refers to the fundamental changes in our understanding of the natural world that occurred in the sixteenth & seventeenth centuries & that led to a rejection of ancient & medieval thinking about the universe in favor of the new thinking that gave birth to modern science. It does not pretend to tell the whole story of this momentous transformation, perhaps more important than any other in modern history. But it does highlight & survey what are often considered to be the six principal developments associated with this shift from old to new science. The six changes are: first, the abandonment of an ancient Greek picture of a finite, earth-centered universe & its replacement by the modern picture of a solar system surrounded by an infinite universe; second, the gradual rejection of the Aristotelian binary physics in favor of the modern physics of universal forces; third, a medical revolution that culminated in the discovery of the circulation of the blood, & put animal (& human) physiology on a new foundation; fourth, the shift from an Aristotelian theory of knowledge to a modern skepticism; fifth, the development of new methods for establishing scientific certainty; &, finally, the founding of the world's first national, government-sponsored scientific societies for promoting research, spreading scientific knowledge, & stimulating inquiry. 続きを見る |
