William Harvey's natural philosophy was a view of the world that he
had put together during his education in Cambridge and Padua. It
contained ways of structuring knowledge, formulating questions and
arriving at answers that directed the programme of work in which he
discovered the circulation of the blood. This book, the most
extensive discussion of Harvey to be published for over twenty-five
years, reports extensively on the views of those who wrote for and
against him. It is a study of a major change in natural philosophy
and of the forces which acted for and, equally important, against
change. In a period traditionally central to historians of science,
it is argued here that natural philosophy and particularly Harvey's
speciality within it - anatomy - was theocentric. Harvey's
contribution was experiment; and the revolution which occurred in
the seventeenth century was concerned not with science but with
experiment and the status of natural knowledge.
