Description

Explore the evolution of scientific thought during the Renaissance with this scholarly volume from Brill. This book examines the rise of theories explaining natural events through tiny, invisible particles such as atoms, corpuscles, minima, monads, and particles. Spanning the timeframe from early commentaries on Lucretius' De rerum natura to the foundational alchemical texts of Newton, this collection provides a deep look into how minute entities gained explanatory power. Readers will find detailed studies on how these concepts influenced diverse fields including Renaissance physiology, meteorology, metaphysics, theology, chymistry, and historiography. This work is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in the history of science and medieval or early modern philosophy. It tracks the changing ways thinkers understood the building blocks of the physical world, offering a comprehensive view of the intellectual shifts that shaped modern scientific inquiry.
