Posted byDr. John A. Schuster

John Schuster (2018) Review of Alan Chalmers, One Hundred Years of Pressure: Hydrostatics from Stevin to Newton. Dordrecht: Springer, 2017 Annals of Science 78: 145-148. On the issues raised here about the rise of experimental sciences and roles of natural philosophy in the Scientific Revolution, see also Schuster and Watchirs 1990 in research section, as well as Schuster 2002 on ‘Aristotelianism and its Alternatives’. The issue is still understudy in a monograph in progress on ‘the fate of natural philosophy and rise of modern sciences in the Scientific Revolution’.
