Bazza Posted May 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 Baz, you're going to find that many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our own point of view. Oh sure, however that is only half of the truth. Bwahaha #cryptic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazza Posted May 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 Okay working my way through my homework by Cancer (which is odd when you think about it, cancer giving you homework ) Galileo Galilei considered his "Dialogues Concerning Two New Sciences" as is "most important work" so if I was going to read on of his, I'd go ahead and read that one. Okay draft list of most important works in the Scientific Renaissance era Andreas Vesalius - De humani corporis fabrica (De humani corporis fabrica libri septem) 1543 Nicolaus Copernicus - On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres 1543 Johannes Kepler - Astronomia nova 1609 Johannes Kepler - Epitome Astronomiae Copernicanae 1615 Johannes Kepler - Harmonices Mundi (The Harmony of the World) 1619-1621 Francis Bacon - Novum Organum (Novum Organum Scientiarum) 1620 Galileo Galilei - Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems 1632 René Descartes - Discourse on the Method 1637 Robert Boyle - The Sceptical Chymist 1661 Issac Newton - Method of Fluxions 1671 Gottfried Leibniz - Nova Methodus pro Maximis et Minimis 1684 Issac Newton - Principia (Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica) 1687 Issac Newton - Opticks 1704 Any significant others that i missed? I came across Christiaan Huygens & Blaise Pascal but unsure how they would fit in. I came across a book called "The Scientific Background to Modern Philosophy : Selected Readings" which has it says is an anthology of extracts from original authors. The author/works include: Aristotle - Physics & Posterior Analytics Nicolaus Copernicus - Commentariolus & On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres Francis Bacon - The New Organon Galileo Galilei - The Assayer, Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems & Discourses Concerning the Two New Sciences Rene Descartes - Discourse on Method & Principles of Philosophy Robert Boyle - The Excellency and Grounds of the Corpuscular or Mechanical Philosophy Christiaan Huygens - Treatise on Light Sir Issac Newton - Principia & Opticks Less than 200 pages, thought I’ve give you all a heads up.
