Learning from the past -- pt. 2. Being a Christian virtuoso -- pt. 3. Acting experimentally. 330 $aIn a provocative reassessment of one of the quintessential figures of early modern science, Rose-Mary Sargent explores Robert Boyle's philosophy of experiment, a central aspect of his life and work that became a model for mid- to late seventeenth-century natural philosophers and for many who followed them. Sargent examines the philosophical, legal, experimental, and religious traditions-among them English common law, alchemy, medicine, and Christianity-that played a part in shaping Boyle's experimental thought and practice. The roots of his philosophy in his early life and education, in his religious ideals, and in the work of his predecessors-particularly Bacon, Descartes, and Galileo-are fully explored, as are the possible influences of his social and intellectual circle. Drawing on the full range of Boyle's published works, as well as on his unpublished notebooks and manuscripts, Sargent shows how these diverse influences were transformed and incorporated into Boyle's views on and practice of experiment. 410 0$aScience and its conceptual foundations. 606 $aScientists$zGreat Britain$vBiography 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aScientists 676 $a530/.092 676 $aB 686 $aUB 3124$2rvk 700 $aSargent$b Rose-Mary$0777699 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460284103321 996 $aThe Diffident Naturalist$91687858 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01038nam0-2200313 --450 001 9910804890703321 005 20240215153955.0 011 $a0031-9317 011 $bonline$a1399-3054 100 $a20240215d1949----kmuy0itay5050 ba 101 $aeng 102 $aDK 105 $a 001yy 110 $aa|u|||||||| 200 1 $aPhysiologia plantarum 207 0$aVol. 1, n. 1(1948)- ; Vol. 30, (1974) 210 $aCopenhagen$cMunksgaard$a[poi] Oxford$cBlackwell Munksgaard$d1949- 215 $av.$cill.$d24 cm 300 $aTrimestrale; poi mensile 300 $aDal 1974 varia il compl. del tit.: published by the Scandinavian society for plant physiology; e dal 1996: an international journal of experimental plant biology 676 $a581.105$v20$zita 712 02$aScandinavian society for plant physiology 801 0$aIT$bUNINA$gREICAT$2UNIMARC 901 $aBK 912 $a9910804890703321 952 $aA PAT 1499$b900/2024$fFAGBC 959 $aFAGBC 996 $aPhysiologia plantarum$985573 997 $aUNINA
