Empiricism and the scientific revolution / Ernan McMullin.
Note galileane:
Isis CB, 93/31 "'In recent years, the traditional case for a discontinuity in the history of science around 1600 has been challenged, as more and more light is cast on the science of the medieval and Renaissance periods. I have tried elsewhere to assess the present state of the evidence on the continuity-discontinuity question. What I wish to do in this paper is to take up one strand in this complicated story and subject it to closer scrutiny than the limits of the early study permitted.' Contents: Two theories of sciences. Aristotle conceptualism. The revival of conceptualism during the Middle Ages. Copernican revolution? The 17th century: Galileo and Kepler. The conceptualism of Descartes. The growth of empiricism: Boyle. The enigma of Newton"
