評分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...
David Wootton is the Anniversary Professor at the University of York. His previous books include Paolo Sarpi, Bad Medicine, and Galileo. He gave the Raleigh Lectures at the British Academy in 2008, the Carlyle Lectures at the University of Oxford in 2014, and the Benedict Lecture at Boston University in 2014.
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.
本书文风明显出自科班教授,典型的超级文献回顾。猜测应该是不同主题的研究论文,拼出了本书的内容。在我这样的业余票友看来,其中涉及的文献浩如烟海,有时关于一个词的发源就够研究很久。 以科学和民生改进为标准,17-19世纪的历史对人类至关重要,发源、爆发于西欧,最终从2...
評分花了一个多月,在上下班的路上断断续续地读完了这本书。关于科学革命和科学史的书相当多,我也读过不少了,哥白尼、开普勒、伽利略、波义耳到牛顿一系列名字和他们的故事早就耳熟能详。 我之所以读David Wotton 的这本《科学的发明》,是觉得这本关于科学革命和科学诞生的书有...
評分科学是迷人的,只是心向往之却不甚了了,所以对于喜爱阅读的人来说,与科学相关的书籍同样是迷人的。来自中信“见识”系列丛书的《科学的诞生:科学革命新史》一书就这样以不错的装帧及题材吸引了我,至于它一开始带给我其究竟是科学领域相关书籍还是历史相关书籍这一迷思,也...
