It also links the Jesuits dedication to science with their specific spirituality which tries to find God in all things. The book begins with Christopher Clavius, professor of mathematics in the Roman College between 1567 and 1595, the initiator of this tradition. It covers Jesuits scientific contributions in mathematics, astronomy, physics and cartography up until the suppression of the order by the Pope in 1773. Next, the book details the scientific work the Jesuits pursued after their restoration in 1814. It examines the establishment of a network of observatories throughout the world; details contributions made to the study of tropical hurricanes, earthquakes and terrestrial magnetism and examines such important figures as Angelo Secchi, Stephen J. Perry, James B. Macelwane and Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. From their founding to the present, Jesuits have trodden an uncommon path to the frontiers where the Christian message is not yet known. Jesuits’ work in science is also an interesting chapter in the general problem of the relation between science | | 出版日期 | Book 2015 | | 关键词 | History of Seismology; Jesuit Colleges and Universities; Jesuit Observatories; Jesuit Seismological Sta | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-08365-0 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-319-38412-2 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-08365-0 | | copyright | Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2015 |
