It focuses on the 18th century, which has often been considered uninteresting for the history of science, representing the transition from the age of genius and the birth of modern science (the 17th century) to the age of prodigious development in the 19th century. Yet the 18th century, the century of Enlightenment, as will be demonstrated here, was in fact characterized by substantial ferment and novelty. To make the text more accessible, little emphasis has been placed on the precise genesis of the various concepts and methods developed in scientific enterprises, except when doing so was necessary to make them clear. For the sake of simplicity, in several situations reference is made to the authors who are famous today, such as Newton, the Bernoullis, Euler, d?Alembert, Lagrange, Lambert, Volta et al. ? not necessarily because they were the most creative and original minds, but mainly because their writings represent a synthesis of contemporary and past studies. The above names should, therefore, be considered more labels of a period than references to real historical characters. 410 0$aHistory of Mechanism and Machine Science,$x1875-3442 ;$v39 606 $aTechnology?History 606 $aPhilosophy 606 $aMathematics 606 $aHistory 606 $aHistory of Technology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T29000 606 $aHistory of Philosophy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E15000 606 $aHistory of Mathematical Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M23009 615 0$aTechnology?History. 615 0$aPhilosophy. 615 0$aMathematics. 615 0$aHistory. 615 14$aHistory of Technology. 615 24$aHistory of Philosophy. 615 24$aHistory of Mathematical Sciences. 676 $a530.09 700 $aCapecchi$b Danilo$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$09831 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483208203321 996 $aEpistemology and Natural Philosophy in the 18th Century$92849563 997 $aUNINA
