Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study aims to examine a change in the sciences, especially mathematics and physics, in Early Modern. To do this, we took as the main axis Mersenne (the first half of the 17th century) and Arnaud(the second half of the 17th century), in which we highlighted the novelty of great philosophers such as Descartes, Pascal and some contemporaries.

現代の日本人も享受している近代科学について、その誕生の瞬間までさかのぼり、現代では当然と考えられている自然観や科学的方法が、いかなる困難を克服することで成立していったのかを見ていくことは、歴史的興味のみならず、科学的思考や科学的リテラシーとは何かという問題にも、大きなヒントを与えることができる。
