Description

Explore the pivotal role of Jesuit scholars in shaping early modern mathematics and scientific thought during the 16th and 17th centuries. This volume, part of the Archimedes series, examines how members of the Society of Jesus contributed significantly to the scientific enterprise of their era, challenging the notion that their numerical prominence lacked intellectual merit. Historians have long underestimated the originality and forward-thinking approaches of Jesuit scientists, yet their influence on mathematical development and natural philosophy remains substantial. This scholarly work presents perspectives that recognise the Jesuits not merely as numerous participants but as meaningful contributors to the revolutionary ideas that transformed scientific understanding during this transformative historical period.

Key Features

Part of the Archimedes series (Volume 6), providing academic rigour and peer-reviewed scholarship on the history of mathematics and science.

Focuses on 16th and 17th century scientific developments, offering historical context for understanding Jesuit contributions to the scientific revolution.

Published by Springer, a leading academic publisher known for high-quality scholarly works in mathematics, science and history.

Challenges conventional historiography by examining numerical strength alongside intellectual significance of Jesuit mathematicians and natural philosophers.

Addresses the relationship between the Society of Jesus and new scientific ideas, reassessing claims of hostility or lack of originality.
