It explains the genesis and theoretical as well as epistemological underpinnings in light of the Jesuit tradition to which Boscovich belonged, and contrasts his ideas with those of Newton, Leibniz, and their legacy. Finally, it debates crucial issues in early-modern physical science such as the concept of force, the particle-like structure of matter, the idea of material points and the notion of continuity, and shares novel insights on Boscovich’s alleged influence on later developments in physics...With its attempt to reduce all natural forces to one single law, Boscovich’s Theory of Natural Philosophy, published in 1758, left a lasting impression on scientists and philosophers of every age regarding the fundamental unity of physical phenomena. The theory argues that every pair of material points is subject toone mutual force — and always the same force — which is their propensity to be mutually attracted or repelled, depending on their distance from one another. Furthermore, the action of this unique force is visu | | 出版日期 | Book 2020 | | 关键词 | curve of forces; material point; natural philosophy; Jesuit science; early-modern force concepts; Newtoni | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-52093-9 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-52095-3 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-52093-9Series ISSN 1421-6329 Series E-ISSN 2296-6080 | | issn_series | 1421-6329 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
