For centuries, laymen and priests, lone thinkers and philosophical schools in Greece, China, the Islamic world and Europe reflected with wisdom and great perseverance on how the natural world fits together. As a rule, their methods and conclusions, although often ingenious, were misdirected when viewed from the perspective of modern science. In the 1600s thinkers like Galileo, Kepler, Descartes, Bacon and many others gave a revolutionary new twist to traditional ideas and practices, culminating in the work of Isaac Newton half a century later. It was as if the world was being created anew. But why did this recreation begin in Europe rather than elsewhere? This book is the culmination of H. Floris Cohen's career-long effort to find answers to this classic question. Here he sets forth a rich but highly accessible account of what, against many odds, made it happen, and why.
