This book challenges the traditional historiography of the
Scientific Revolution, probably the single most important unifying
concept in the history of science. Usually referring to the period
from Copernicus to Newton (roughly 1500 to 1700), the Scientific
Revolution is considered to be the central episode in the history
of science, the historical moment at which that unique way of
looking at the world that we call 'modern science' and its
attendant institutions emerged. It has been taken as the terminus a
quo of all that followed. Starting with a dialogue between Betty Jo
Teeter Dobbs and Richard S. Westfall, whose understanding of the
Scientific Revolution differed in important ways, the papers in
this volume reconsider canonical figures, their areas of study, and
the formation of disciplinary boundaries during this seminal period
of European intellectual history.
