A book of "Studies" by Alexander Koyre attacks this philosopher's notion that scientific thought began in the year 1277, when Etienne Tempier suggested that there could be parallel universes.
A book of "Studies" by Alexander Koyre attacks this philosopher's notion that scientific thought began in the year 1277, when Etienne Tempier suggested that there could be parallel universes. This philosopher translated the works of Jean Buridan as part of a ten-volume project of a history of cosmological doctrines, The System of the World. He argued that "logic was on the side of [Cardinal] Bellarmine and Urban VIII" in a book arguing that Galileo made very few contributions to science, Saving the Phenomena; that book introduced his thesis that the Renaissance was merely a continuation of the intellectualism of the Dark Ages. A footnote in From a Logical Point of View credits this thinker with the idea that empirical theses are always interconnected. Quine attributed an early form of his idea that it is impossible to test a hypothesis in isolation to, for 10 points, what French chemist?
