Peter Harrison provides an account of the religious foundations of scientific knowledge. He shows how the approaches to the study of nature that emerged in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries were directly informed by theological discussions about the Fall of Man and the extent to which the mind and the senses had been damaged by that primeval event. Scientific methods, he suggests, were originally devised as techniques for ameliorating the cognitive damage wrought by human sin. At its inception, modern science was conceptualized as a means of recapturing the knowledge of nature that Adam had once possessed. Contrary to a widespread view that sees science emerging in conflict with religion, Harrison argues that theological considerations were of vital importance in the framing of the scientific method.

评分关注科学革命时期原罪与堕落叙事对各种科学方法与思潮的影响 中心论点是从奥古斯丁加尔文到英国新教 当时认为人类的原罪与堕落程度-获取知识的能力-比中世纪时认为得要严重 而正是为弥补这种depri(a)vation促使全新的approach产生。本书一大优点是聚焦原罪问题的同时有清晰的big picture框架 理科生写书的好处是结构和论证都非常清晰。有趣的是 牛顿是此书中一个例外的怪胎 他庞大的宗教作品中几乎完全没有提到原罪 作者认为他反trinity的立场使其拒绝人类认知能力的堕落 这使他能大胆地结合冲突派别的approach 形成数学-实验结合的革命性进路。
