Description

Explore the origins of modern European science with this scholarly work from Springer. This book examines the profound transformation in the study of nature during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. It focuses on the emergence of mechanistic philosophy, the development of mixed mathematics, and the establishment of the experimental approach. The text offers a unique perspective on how modern science developed. Rather than focusing on a simple rediscovery of Hellenistic mathematics, the author argues that the movement grew from the continuous transmission of applied components through the Middle Ages. These components include mechanics, optics, harmonics, and astronomy. By tracing these methodologies, the book provides a deep look into the historical processes that shaped scientific thought. It is an essential resource for those interested in the History of Mechanism and Machine Science, offering a detailed reinterpretation of the birth of modern science and its mathematical foundations.
