Despite his early rationalistic epistemology, Descartes’s increasing attention to collections, histories, lists of qualities, and particular bodies results in a puzzling ‘short history of all natural phenomena’ contained in the .Principles of philosophy .(1644). The present book outlines the role of Descartes‘s observations and experimentation as he aimed to construct a universal science of nature, ultimately revealing the mechanization of nature in detail, and for curious bodies such as the Bologna Stone or the sensitive herb. What results is a theoretical natural history consistent with the mechanical principles of his philosophy, ultimately shedding new light on his attempt to produce a complete philosophy of nature.. | 出版日期 | Book 2023 | 关键词 | Descartes‘s Method; induction; enumeration; natural history; mercury; Bologna stone; magnet; salt; plants se | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-48663-0 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-031-48665-4 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-031-48663-0Series ISSN 1871-7381 Series E-ISSN 2215-1958 | issn_series | 1871-7381 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
