Jesuit Science and the End of Nature’s Secrets by Mark A Waddell
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 5.7 MB
Overview: Jesuit Science and the End of Nature’s Secrets explores how several prominent Jesuit naturalists – including Niccolò Cabeo, Athanasius Kircher, and Gaspar Schott – tackled the problem of occult or insensible causation in the seventeenth century. The search for hidden causes lay at the heart of the early modern study of nature, and included phenomena such as the activity of the magnet, the marvelous powers ascribed to certain animals and plants, and the hidden, destructive forces churning in the depths of the Earth. While this was a project embraced by most early modern naturalists, however, the book demonstrates that the Jesuits were uniquely suited to the study of nature’s hidden secrets because of the complex methods of contemplation and meditation enshrined at the core of their spirituality.
