Traditional philosophy speaks of this period as marking a revolution in scientific thought. In this book Fred Wilson reinstates and extends the traditional conception of the scientific revolution and its significance, and explores the goals and directions of the new science according to the differing interpretations of rationalist and empiricist thinkers."--BOOK JACKET.Toronto studies in philosophy.SciencePhilosophyHistory17th centuryScienceMethodologyHistory17th centuryLivres numeriques.History.e-books.Electronic books.
