More about the book

The book explores the significant shift in natural philosophy during the 16th and 17th centuries, focusing on how nature was increasingly described using mathematical language. It delves into the comparison of natural phenomena to both real and hypothetical machines, highlighting the role of mechanical analogies in shaping philosophical thought about the natural world. This transformation laid the groundwork for modern scientific inquiry and understanding.
