- Abstract:
- This volume, mainly intended for historians and philosophers of science, aims at reappraising the traditional definition of the seventeenth-century New Science as excluding the Aristotelian notion of matter and form. At the time of the so-called Scientific Revolution, matter and form were indeed far from being entirely rejected, as they shape the normative framework of early modern natural philosophy and metaphysics.
