Margaret J. Osler is a professor of history at the University of Calgary.
Change in human understanding of the natural world during the early modern period marks one of the most important episodes in intellectual history. This era is often referred to as the scientific revolution, but recent scholarship has challenged traditional accounts. Here, in Reconfiguring the World, Margaret J. Osler treats the development of the sciences in Europe from the early sixteenth to the late seventeenth centuries as a complex and multifaceted process. The worldview embedded in modern science is a relatively recent development. Osler aims to convey a nuanced understanding of how the natural world looked to early modern thinkers such as Galileo, Descartes, Boyle, and Newton. She describes investigation and understanding of the natural world in terms that the thinkers themselves would have used. Tracing the views of the natural world to their biblical, Greek, and Arabic sources, Osler demonstrates the impact of the Renaissance recovery of ancient texts, printing, the Protestant Reformation, and the exploration of the New World. She shows how the traditional disciplinary boundaries established by Aristotle changed dramatically during this period and finds the tensions of science and religion expressed as differences between natural philosophy and theology. Far from a triumphalist account, Osler's story includes false starts and dead ends. Ultimately, she shows how a few gifted students of nature changed the way we see ourselves and the universe.
時至今日,現代科學神話早已將伽利略塑造為瞭遭受”反動權威“迫害、替代“進步真理”受難的科學英雄形象。但近來這一經典形象質疑較多,愈加有崩塌的趨勢。學人於是爭先恐後,重新審視伽利略與教會的關係,也算造就瞭一風靡學界的話題。 《重構世界》一書的作者奧斯勒對這段曆...

評分Osler的書齣版於2010年,屬於“科學革命”領域較近的研究成果。也可以說,這本書無論在觀點上,還是在史料的展現上,都是“站在巨人的肩膀上”的。 與其說是學術論著,這本小冊子更像一本科學史的教科書。該書從世界觀、自然觀的角度梳理瞭“科學革命”的發生史,時間跨度約有...
