The Scientific Revolution

包含Steven Shapin's 對現代科學世界觀起源的歷史探索。在Steven Shapin's 看來，歷史學家傳統上稱之為科學革命是在近兩個世紀中發展起來的各種實踐和想法。作者拒絕早期現代科學的“本質”觀點，表明科學革命實際上缺乏其“革命”名稱所暗含的令人震驚的突兀和災難性質。

This work contains Steven Shapin's historical exploration into the origins of the modern scientific worldview. What historians have traditionally called the Scientific Revolution was, in Shapin's view, a diversity of practices and ideas that developed over the course of nearly two centuries. Rejecting the idea that there is anything like an "essence" of early modern science, the author shows that the Scientific Revolution in reality lacked the jarring abruptness and cataclysmic nature implied by its "revolutionary" name.
