{"product_id":"9781472449726","title":"Jesuit Science and the End of Nature's Secrets","description":"\u003cp\u003eJesuit Science and the End of Nature’s Secrets explores how several prominent Jesuit naturalists - including Niccolò Cabeo, Athanasius Kircher, and Gaspar Schott - tackled the problem of occult or insensible causation in the seventeenth century. This book documents how particular Jesuits sought to reveal and expose nature’s myriad secrets through an innovative blending of technology, imagery and experiment. Moving beyond the conventional Aristotelianism mandated by the Society of Jesus, they set forth a vision of the world that made manifest the works of God as Creator, no matter how deeply hidden those works were. The book thus not only presents a narrative that challenges present-day assumptions about the role played by Catholic religious communities in the formation of modern science, but also captures the exuberance and inventiveness of the early modern study of nature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48784456646891,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":428.48,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9781472449726-1.jpg?v=1781682046","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/products\/9781472449726","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
