Topics course. What was the Scientific Revolution of the 16th and 17th centuries? Did a revolution even occur? If it did, was it really revolutionary? If it occurred, what forces produced it? How did the boundaries of 'science,' which was known as 'natural philosophy,' change during this time period? Readings will be drawn from primary and secondary sources.
Topic: The Scientific Revolution.
