Meer over het boek

The book explores the pivotal transformation from natural philosophy to modern scientific disciplines during the 18th century, often overlooked in the history of science. It highlights this era as a time of significant change, bridging the innovative 17th century and the rapidly advancing 19th century. By emphasizing the Enlightenment's contributions, the author reveals the substantial developments and novel ideas that emerged, challenging the notion that the 18th century was unremarkable in scientific progress.
