Abstract

The Consonant with our view of the universe of anesthesiologists as an expanding one, we offer another book reviewwhich visits the early years of the “scientific revolution.” Some recent scholars have gone so for as to deny that a “revolution” took place at all Nudging the paradigmatic Copernican shift back to the fourteenth century and the speculative m usings of John Buridan andNicole Oresme, the concept—the possibility—of the earth in motion was openly discussed and didn't result in heresy trials and ceremonial immolations. The book reviewed below is a fine study of the ways in which Aristotle and Euclid confronted (metaphorically) the new math and mathematics of the seventeenth century. Warning: the community of scholars working in the history of science don't talk like we do. They seem to understand one another; but there is cognitive dissonance ahead.
