内容説明

A study of the philosophy of early modern science. Focusing on three key 17th-century figures - Descartes, Bacon and Newton - the author explores science's philosophical and theological background.

目次

  • Part 1 Descartes's rectification of natural appearance - thinking over perception: Platonic and Aristotelian anticipations of Descartes's God of infinite productivity
  • the destruction of the cosmos in the homogeneity of things
  • the measure of space and the rectification of natural appearance. Part 2 Modern science as technical intervention - Bacon's Promethean measure: mythical truth, the weak tradition and the power of scientific hope
  • the question of technical creation and the second nature of Baconian science
  • the new authority of technical intervention - from "natural history" to "experimental nature". Part 3 Newton's perceptual authority and the decisiveness of technical appearance: the merger of the corpuscular and the mathematical - Newton's empirical science
  • the divine propriety of spirit and the insufficient space of nature
  • theoretical embodiment - the technical authority of Newtonian time and space.
