Description
This book discusses the impetus-based physics of the Jesuit natural philosopher and mathematician HonorxE9; Fabri (1608-1688), a senior representative of Jesuit scientists during the period between Galileo's death (1642) and Newton's Principia (1687). It shows how Fabri, while remaining loyal to a general Aristotelian outlook, managed to reinterpret the old concept of x201C;impetusx201D; in such a way as to assimilate into his physics building blocks of modern science, like Galileox2019;s law of fall and Descartesx2019; principle of inertia. This account of Fabrix2019;s theory is a novel one, since his physics is commonly considered as a dogmatic rejection of the New Science, not essentially different from the medieval impetus theory. This book shows how New Science principles were taught in Jesuit Colleges in the 1640s, thus depicting the sophisticated manner in which new ideas were settling within the lionx2019;s den of Catholic education.
