Description

Discover how empirical research became foundational to modern science in this scholarly exploration of intellectual history. This Routledge book examines the philosophical and cultural shifts that transformed human understanding through the work of Boyle, Locke and Newton. Rather than focusing solely on the pursuit of knowledge, the author argues that understanding-and how societies create and exchange causal explanations-shaped the emergence of experimental methods. The text challenges traditional historiography by moving beyond ancient Greek notions of essence-based knowledge, revealing how early modern philosophers developed new approaches to investigating nature. Ideal for history scholars, philosophy students and anyone interested in how scientific methodology evolved from philosophical inquiry into a systematic practice that defined the modern era.
