Schuster, John A. (Author)
This study deals with some pitfalls and opportunities of contextual explanation in the history of science by examining the case of Isaac Beeckman’s invention of corpuscular-mechanical natural philosophy. It makes use of ideas about contextual explanation—its dangers as well as more fruitful avenues of approach—that the author has expressed elsewhere in studies of Descartes’s intellectual biography, the historiography of the Scientific Revolution, and the internalism/externalism debate, as well as in articulations and criticisms of post-Kuhnian developments in the history and sociology of science.
