Originally published: The metaphysical foundations of modern physical science. 2nd, rev. ed. Garden City, N.Y. : Doubleday, 1954
To the medieval thinker, man was the center of creation and all of nature existed purely for his benefit. The shift from the philosophy of the Middle Ages to the modern view of humanity's less central place in the universe ranks as the greatest revolution in the history of Western thought, and this classic in the philosophy of science describes and analyzes how the profound change occurred. A fascinating analysis of the works of Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo, Descartes, Hobbes, Gilbert, Boyle, and Newton, it not only establishes the reasons for the triumph of the modern perspective but also accounts for certain limitations that characterize contemporary scientific thought.
Burtt (1892-1989) offers a historical study of the philosophy of early modern science, locating its key assumptions as they emerge, and following them out to their classic formulation in the metaphysical paragraphs of Isaac Newton. Doubleday Anchor Books published the 1924, 1932, and 1954 editions as The Metaphysical Foundations of Modern Physical Science. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
