Science and Religion, 400 B.C. to A.D. 1550: From Aristotle to Copernicus
ISBN: 9780313328589 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Many people believe that during the Middle Ages, Christianity was actively hostile toward science (then known as natural philosophy) and impeded its progress. This comprehensive survey of science and religion during the period between the lives of Aristotle and Copernicus demonstrates how this was not the case. Medieval theologians were not hostile to learning natural philosophy, but embraced it. Had they had not done so, the science that developed during the Scientific Revolution would not--and could not--have occurred. Students and lay readers will learn how the roots of much of the...

Much ADO about Nothing: Theories of Space and Vacuum from the Middle Ages to the Scientific Revolution
ISBN: 9780521229838 / Angielski / Twarda / 1981 / 472 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The primary objective of this study is to provide a description of the major ideas about void space within and beyond the world that were formulated between the fourteenth and early eighteenth centuries. The second part of the book - on infinite, extracosmic void space - is of special significance. The significance of Professor Grant's account is twofold: it provides the first comprehensive and detailed description of the scholastic Aristotelian arguments for and against the existence of void space; and it presents (again for the first time) an analysis of the possible influence of scholastic...

A History of Natural Philosophy: From the Ancient World to the Nineteenth Century
ISBN: 9780521869317 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 376 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Natural philosophy encompassed all natural phenomena of the physical world. It sought to discover the physical causes of all natural effects and was little concerned with mathematics. By contrast, the exact mathematical sciences were narrowly confined to various computations that did not involve physical causes, functioning totally independently of natural philosophy. Although this began slowly to change in the late Middle Ages, a much more thoroughgoing union of natural philosophy and mathematics occurred in the seventeenth century and thereby made the Scientific Revolution possible. The...

God and Reason in the Middle Ages
ISBN: 9780521003377 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Age of Reason associated with the names of Descartes, Newton, Hobbes, and the French philosophers, actually began in the universities that first emerged in the late Middle Ages (1100 to 1600) when the first large scale institutionalization of reason in the history of civilization occurred. This study shows how reason was used in the university subjects of logic, natural philosophy, and theology, and to a much lesser extent in medicine and law. The final chapter describes how the Middle Ages acquired an undeserved reputation as an age of superstition, barbarism, and unreason.

Mathematics and Its Applications to Science and Natural Philosophy in the Middle Ages: Essays in Honour of Marshall Clagett
ISBN: 9780521141949 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Originally published in 1987, this important synthesis represented the first effort by modern scholars to convey the variety of ways in which medieval scientists and natural philosophers used mathematics and mathematical modes of thought to describe natural phenomena. Eleven distinguished historians of science contributed original essays on the application of mathematics to natural philosophy, astronomy, cosmology, optics and medicine. The book is a fitting tribute to Professor Marshall Clagett of The Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, for his significant contributions to the history of...

Physical Science in the Middle Ages
ISBN: 9780521292948 / Angielski / Miękka / 1978 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This concise introduction to the history of physical science in the Middle Ages begins with a description of the feeble state of early medieval science and its revitalization during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, as evidenced by the explosion of knowledge represented by extensive translations of Greek and Arabic treatises. The content and concepts that came to govern science from the late twelfth century onwards were powerfully shaped and dominated by the science and philosophy of Aristotle. It is, therefore, by focussing attention on problems and controversies associated with...

The Foundations of Modern Science in the Middle Ages: Their Religious, Institutional and Intellectual Contexts
ISBN: 9780521567626 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 266 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Contrary to prevailing opinion, the roots of modern science were planted in the ancient and medieval worlds long before the Scientific Revolution of the seventeenth century. Indeed, that revolution would have been inconceivable without the cumulative antecedent efforts of three great civilizations: Greek, Islamic, and Latin. With the scientific riches it derived by translation from Greco-Islamic sources in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, the Christian Latin civilization of Western Europe began the last leg of the intellectual journey that culminated in a scientific revolution that...
