Book Synopsis The New Science and Jesuit Science by : M. Feingold

Download or read book The New Science and Jesuit Science written by M. Feingold and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2003 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until recently, the contribution of the Society of Jesus to the Scientific Revolution remained sketchy at best, as the perception of the Jesuits as plodding pedagogues and obscurantists sanctioned the disregard of their activities. The present volume makes an important contribution toward a more nuanced appreciation of the Jesuits' interaction with "modernity", and a far greater recognition of their contribution to the two poles of modern science: the mathematization of natural philosophy and experimental science. The six essays provide a cross-section of the complex Jesuit encounter with the mathematical sciences during the seventeenth century, as well as a factor in the quandary faced by practitioners in their pursuit of science and in their ability to make their research public.
