The Path to Post-Galilean Epistemology Reinterpreting the Birth of Modern Science

“For those interested in a deep understanding of the changes in (applied) mathematics—as well as in natural philosophy—that occurred in the early modern era, the pleasant reading of the present book is certainly encouraged.” (Salvatore Esposito, Mathematical Reviews, March, 2018)






“This deep and well documented work traces the history of the (increasingly) mathematical treatment of natural phenomena … from the time of Plato and Aristotle to Descartes. … The breadth of sources and the care with which they are documented should make this work an important source for those with a strong interest in the history of science. The author introduces the work and methods of the famous and the not-so-famous in an engaging, detailed and complete manner.” (Richard J. Wilders, MAA Reviews, September, 2017)
