This volume contains specialised essays, offering broad reflections
on the Scientific Revolution, by a group of leading scholars
actively engaged in the study of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century
science. Although the volume's thirteen original essays display a
wide variety of methods and approaches, all share the aim of
re-examining fundamental assumptions and questioning established
interpretations of the Scientific Revolution. Some of the essays
deal with questions of method, audience, and social context. Others
examine the conceptions of science held by the major figures in
sixteenth- and seventeenth-century science, reconsider the
relationship of metaphysics to scientific inquiry, investigate the
ideology of scientific openness and its origins, and revise
traditional estimates of the place of science within the
universities. Still others reconsider the map of scientific
knowledge as viewed during these two centuries, and the
relationship of occult traditions to other features of the
Scientific Revolution.
