Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the philosophical evolution of our understanding of nature's laws and phenomena. The author observes a distinct shift away from teleological explanations, where events were seen as guided by intelligent beings, toward a mechanical understanding of nature operating in accordance with invariable laws. The author traces the emergence and development of this mechanical philosophy, discussing its implications for our view of the universe and our place within it. The book delves into the tension between the scientific and teleological perspectives, exploring the enduring influence of scrutable design and the role of inscrutable causes in human thought. Through a comprehensive examination of scientific progress, particularly in astronomy and evolutionary biology, the author illustrates how the mechanical philosophy has revolutionized our comprehension of nature's workings, offering a nuanced perspective on the interplay between science, philosophy, and human understanding. 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. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781331046653_0
