Product Description

This book discusses the impetus-based physics of the Jesuit natural philosopher and mathematician Honor 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 impetus in such a way as to assimilate into his physics building blocks of modern science, like Galileos law of fall and Descartes principle of inertia. This account of Fabris 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 lions den of Catholic education.
