Paperback. Etat : 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.
