Excerpt from The Metaphysical Foundations of Modern Physical Science: A Historical and Critical Essay
How curious, after all, is the way in which we moderns think about our world And it is all so novel, too. The cosmology underlying our mental processes is but three centuries old - a mere infant in the history of thought - and yet we cling to it with the same embarrassed zeal with which a young father fondles his new-born baby. Like him, we are ignorant enough of its precise nature like him, we nevertheless take it piously to be ours and allow it a subtly pervasive and unhindered control over our thinking.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the history of science, examining the shift in perspective that led to the development of modern science. The author explores the intellectual climate of the Renaissance, contrasting the medieval view of the universe as centered on humanity and its earthly concerns with the emerging Copernican model. The book dissects the reasons why Copernicus and Kepler, despite facing substantial scientific and theological objections, chose to embrace the new astronomical model. The author explores the fundamental shift in scientific thinking that occurred during this era, from a reliance on teleological explanations rooted in purpose and divine design to a focus on mathematical laws and physical principles. He ultimately zeroes in on the impact of Isaac Newton, whose work solidified the new scientific paradigm and established the essential framework for modern scientific inquiry. The book offers a unique and insightful perspective on the intellectual underpinnings of modern science. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9780282592967_0
