This original work contains the first detailed account of the
natural philosophy of Robert Hooke (1635-1703), leading figure of
the early Royal Society. From celestial mechanics to microscopy,
from optics to geology and biology, Hooke's contributions to the
Scientific Revolution proved decisive. Focusing separately on
partial aspects of Hooke's works, scholars have hitherto failed to
see the unifying idea of the natural philosophy underlying them.
Some of his unpublished papers have passed almost unnoticed. Hooke
pursued the foundation of a real, mechanical and experimental
philosophy, and this book is an attempt to reconstruct it. The book
includes a selection of Hooke's unpublished papers. Readers will
discover a study of the new science through the works of one of the
most known protagonists. Challenging the current views on the
scientific life of restoration England, this book sheds new light
on the circulation of Baconian ideals and the mechanical philosophy
in the early Royal Society. This book is a must-read to anybody
interested in Hooke, early modern science or Restoration history.
