Leviathan and the Air-Pump (Philosophy and Religious Studies Roundtable Series)
Dr. Timothy Smit will lead our final discussion of the semester on a topic in the history of the philosophy of science. What were the debates surrounding experiment and knowledge-making during the Scientific Revolution in the seventeenth century? Drawing on the book by Steven Shapin and Simon Schaffer of the same title, we will discuss factions of the Royal Society and their arguments about the connections (or lack thereof) between the new experimental science and natural philosophy.
