Description

Trace the foundational development of modern mechanics from ancient origins through the sixteenth century in this scholarly examination of how classical ideas were transformed during the medieval and early modern periods. This volume explores the complex transmission of mechanical knowledge across multiple textual traditions, disciplines, and practices including ancient natural philosophy, statics, machine theory, and mathematics. The book analyses crucial moments when conflicts emerged within and between different scholarly traditions, offering readers a comprehensive understanding of how the intellectual groundwork for seventeenth-century mechanics was established. Part of the Boston Studies in the Philosophy and History of Science series published by Springer, this work provides essential context for understanding the revolutionary changes that would reshape natural philosophy and scientific thought.
