The Author documents Kircher’s often intuitive work in many areas, including translating the hieroglyphs, developing sundials, and inventing the magic lantern, and explains how Kircher was a forerunner of Darwin in suggesting that animal species evolve. Galileo’s work on scales, telescopes, and sun spots is mapped and discussed, and care is taken to place his discoveries within their cultural environment. While Galileo is without doubt the “winner” in the comparison with Kircher, the latter achieved extraordinary insights by unconventional means. For all Galileo’s fine work, the author believes that scientists do need to regain the power of dreaming, vindicating Kirchner’s view. | | 出版日期 | Book 2014 | | 关键词 | Athanasius Kircher; Galileo Galilei; Galileo vs; Kircher; Intuitive Science; Jesuit Scientific Achieveme | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-00300-9 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-319-37557-1 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-00300-9Series ISSN 0067-0057 Series E-ISSN 2214-7985 | | issn_series | 0067-0057 | | copyright | Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2014 |
