The History of Science and Natural Philosophy among the Croats (with particular reference to the exact sciences) Volume III The Early Modern Period

Abstract

This volume (The Early Modern Period) is the third part of The History of Science and Natural Philosophy among the Croats (with particular reference to the exact sciences) by academician Žarko Dadić. The first two volumes were The Middle Ages (2015) and The Renaissance (2016). Volume I covered the Middle Ages up to 1526, and Volume II the period from 1526 to the end of the sixteenth century. The third part covers events from 1600 to 1699. According to the author, “the 17th century, though considered part of late medieval times, can also be identified as the Early Modern Age. In philosophical and scientific terms, it was a particular age which differed from the Renaissance and in which the foundations of completely new philosophical and scientific attitudes were laid”.
