Short description:
What was the role of religious belief in the rise of modern science? Was it always as negative as the Galileo affair might suggest? This collection of essays from a distinguished team of scholars makes an exciting new contribution because its subject is the independent thinkers in early modern Europe - Galileo, Hobbes, and Newton as well as less familiar figures - and the ways in which their heterodoxy in science or religion affected their understanding of nature and of God.
MoreLong description:
The separation of science and religion in modern secular culture can easily obscure the fact that in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Europe ideas about nature were intimately related to ideas about God. Readers of this book will find fresh and exciting accounts of a phenomenon common to both science and religion: deviation from orthodox belief. How is heterodoxy to be measured? How might the scientific heterodoxy of particular thinkers impinge on their religious views? Would heterodoxy in religion create a predisposition towards heterodoxy in science? Might there be a homology between heterodox views in both domains? Such major protagonists as Galileo and Newton are re-examined together with less familiar figures in order to bring out the extraordinary richness of scientific and religious thought in the pre-modern world.
...a rich...addition to our understanding of the ideas of its period.
