A companion to such acclaimed works as The Age of Wonder, A Clockwork Universe, and Darwin’s Ghosts—a groundbreaking examination of the greatest event in history, the Scientific Revolution, and how it came to change the way we understand ourselves and our world.
We live in a world transformed by scientific discovery. Yet today, science and its practitioners have come under political attack. In this fascinating history spanning continents and centuries, historian David Wootton offers a lively defense of science, revealing why the Scientific Revolution was truly the greatest event in our history.
The Invention of Science goes back five hundred years in time to chronicle this crucial transformation, exploring the factors that led to its birth and the people who made it happen. Wootton argues that the Scientific Revolution was actually five separate yet concurrent events that developed independently, but came to intersect and create a new worldview. Here are the brilliant iconoclasts—Galileo, Copernicus, Brahe, Newton, and many more curious minds from across Europe—whose studies of the natural world challenged centuries of religious orthodoxy and ingrained superstition.
From gunpowder technology, the discovery of the new world, movable type printing, perspective painting, and the telescope to the practice of conducting experiments, the laws of nature, and the concept of the fact, Wotton shows how these discoveries codified into a social construct and a system of knowledge. Ultimately, he makes clear the link between scientific discovery and the rise of industrialization—and the birth of the modern world we know.

在《从黎明到衰落》一书中，雅克·巴尔赞用四个革命定义了西方近500年的社会和文化发展：宗教革命、君主制革命、自由革命、社会革命，巴尔赞是从整个社会历史的层面进行总结的，在拜读《从黎明到衰落》的过程中，人们不难发现有另一条暗线贯穿这段历史，那就是科学的发展。 而...

评分不错的书，很多详细的一手资料，很多当年作品的插图，思路也相当清晰。
评分In this thick and informative volume, the author examines the birth of vocabulary of modern science since the Columbian discovery in order to illustrate the discontinuity of pre-modern and modern sciences and to emphasise that there was indeed the Scientific Revolution. A cultural history of language instead of a history of scientific elites...
