Description
The publication recalls the amazing intellectual movement and events that transformed European science and society in the 17th century. It examines the ways of exploring and understanding nature that matured during the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance, tracing their progress toward the science as we know it today. The scientific revolution, in its interpretation, was marked by the global expansion of trade by European powers as well as the rivalry among states for a share of world trade. The narrative shifts from pre-scientific, classical thinking to the European institutionalization of science and is of such magnitude that it includes personalities who have been overlooked or forgotten, such as Nicolas Oresme, Francis Bacon, Thomas Hobbes, Isaac Newton, René Descartes, Tadeáš Hájek, Johann Joachim Becher, illuminating the social and intellectual sea of changes that shaped the modern world.
