- W1998766972 abstract "I was fortunate as a young man to attend, soon after the end of the Second World War, a course of lectures delivered in Cambridge by Herbert Butterfield, a distinguished modern historian of the time. 1 The subject of his lectures was the scientific revolution of the 16th and 17th centuries. It was in this period that the modern theory of inertia began to take shape and the medieval world picture gave place to the modern one. One thinks of Galileo, Descartes and, above all, of Newton. While medievalists will wish to study the earlier period, most people interested in scientific history will confine themselves to the science that has resulted from that scientific revolution and I will do this here. The revolution began with physics, but was not followed immediately, as many expected it would be, by a revolution in biology. That came later and some would say that, in important aspects, it has only just begun. Scientific history is part of history as a whole and Butterfield had no hesitation in asserting that it is an important part. In a characteristic flight of rhetoric he declared that ‘It outshines everything since the rise of Christianity and reduces the renaissance and reformation to the rank of mere episodes, mere internal displacements, within the system of medieval Christendom’. The scientific historian is not often privileged to operate at this high level. Nevertheless, it will be appropriate if I start with some discussion of general history as a professional study." @default.
