  • Science as a calling and as a profession

    Open AccessH Floris CohenARTICLEEndeavour2024

    In his 1917 lecture for Munich students (most often entitled in English translation "Science as a Vocation"), Max Weber addressed numerous issues: not only how "profession" and "calling" are related in science and scholarship, but also Entzauberung ("disenchantment"); rationality and its limits; ultimate values; and the field of tension between science and religion. The present essay locates these themes in Weber's oeuvre from 1911 onward, and an…

  • Rethinking Stevin, Stevin Rethinking

    C A Davids, Fokko Jan Dijksterhuis et al.BOOKRethinking Stevin, Stevin…2021

    This book studies the Dutch mathematician Simon Stevin (1548-1620) as a new type of ‘man of knowledge’. Traditionally, Stevin is best known for his contributions to the ‘Archimedean turn’. This innovative volume moves beyond this conventional image by bringing many other aspects of his work into view, by analysing the connections between the multiple strands of his thinking and by situating him in a broader European context. Like other multi-tale…

    In his biography of Isaac Newton, which forms the most recent production in this flourishing genre, Niccolò Guicciardini states as his first point of departure that Newton's work arose not from ‘attempts to answer questions that came to him spontaneously, but [from addressing] those posed by his contemporaries’ (p. 20). Right he is to communicate to the larger audience for which he is writing this principal fruit of by now almost a century of pro…

  • The Rise of Modern Science Explained

    Open AccessH Floris CohenBOOKRise of Modern Science Explained2015

    For centuries, laymen and priests, lone thinkers and philosophical schools in Greece, China, the Islamic world and Europe reflected with wisdom and perseverance on how the natural world fits together. As a rule, their methods and conclusions, while often ingenious, were misdirected when viewed from the perspective of modern science. In the 1600s thinkers such as Galileo, Kepler, Descartes, Bacon and many others gave revolutionary new twists to tr…

  • From West to East, from East to West? Early Science between Civilizations

    H Floris CohenARTICLEEarly Science and Medicine2012

    Is modern science a product of the West exclusively? To be sure, from Galileo to Newton and far beyond the pioneers were Europeans. But does it follow that what science sprang from their efforts deserves without any reservation a label ‘made in Europe’? Survey histories of science still make us believe so, be it by commission or by omission. If a textbook starts with the ancient Greeks, these are treated in a self-evident sort of way as proto-Eur…

  • Reconceptualizing the Scientific Revolution

    Open AccessH Floris CohenARTICLEEuropean Review2007

    Academics all over the world rightly desire to understand how modern science has come about. Indeed there was a time when historians of science had on offer a clear-cut conception of how that happened. But ongoing innovation in historiographical approaches has rendered the period from Galileo to Newton ever more elusive. Its monolithic coherence has been dissolved, a mood of sceptical resignation reigns in the profession over the very possibility…
