William Harvey (1578-1657) was one of the greatest figures in the
history of medicine. His major contribution to the medical sciences
was his discovery of the circulation of blood. He was also the
personal physician to both James I and Charles I. William Harvey's
natural philosophy was a view of the world that he developed during
his education in Cambridge and Padua. It contained ways of
structuring knowledge, formulating questions, and arriving at
answers that directed the program of work in which he discovered
the circulation of the blood. This book, the most extensive
discussion of Harvey to be published in over 25 years, reports
extensively on the views of those who argued for and against him.
Professor French studies the major changes in natural philosophy in
a period considered central to the history of science, and argues
that natural philosophy, and particularly Harvey's specialty within
it--anatomy--were theocentric. This work, which makes extensive use
of primary (Latin) sources and is illustrated throughout with
seventeenth-century illustrations, should be of value to historians
of medicine and physicians interested in the history of their
field.
