Until the 1840's what we now call science was "natural philosophy," so that even Isaac Newton's great book on motion and gravity, published in 1687, was The Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy ( Principia Mathematica Philosophiae Naturalis). The word "science" itself is simply the Latin word for knowledge: scientia. It is thus reasonable to think that this enabled Kepler and Galileo to break through Aristotelian conceptions of induction and found the new, modern mathematical physics.Įven as in the Middle Ages philosophy was often thought of as the "handmaiden of theology," modern philosophers have often thought of their discipline as little more than the "handmaiden of science." Even for those who haven't thought that, the shadow of science, its spectacular success and its influence on modern life and history, has been hard to ignore.įor a long time, philosophers as diverse as David Hume, Karl Marx, and Edmund Husserl have seen the value of their work in the claim that they were making philosophy "scientific." Those claims should have ended with Immanuel Kant (1724-1804), who for the first time clearly provided a distinction between the issues that science could deal with and those that it couldn't, but since Kant's theory could not be demonstrated the same way as a scientific theory, the spell of science, even if it is only through pseudo-science, continues. It is noteworthy that the confidence of Johannes Kepler in the mathematical nature of the universe was Platonic in inspiration, derived from the revival of Plato by Renaissance scholars and ultimately from the Platonism of Mistra in Romania. One thing that happened during the Renaissance that was of great importance for the later character of modern philosophy was the birth of modern science. Galileo Galilei, sotto voce after his trial and coerced confession. Galileo Galilei, "Discourse on Floating Bodies," 1612 I expect a terrible rebuke from one of my adversaries, and I can almost hear him shouting in my ears that it is one thing to deal with matters physically and quite another to do so mathematically, and that geometers should stick to their fantasies, and not get involved in philosophical matters where the conclusions are different from those in mathematics. 912 7482 24.Beginning of Modern Science & Modern Philosophy The Beginning of Modern Science is a trading name of T-34 Limited, a company incorporated under the Companies Act 1985.
