Wang's book introduces a convincing and wide-ranging narrative of the changing place of 'occult qualities' in the context of emergent new scientific methods and early modern disciplinary realignments. Through in-depth analysis of the diverse treatments of this notion, whereby it becomes now a hollow phrase, now a touchstone for the superiority of new physics, Wang shows how the transmission of this notion is key to understanding almost every facet of the new physics of the age"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Occultism and science $x History $y 17th century. 650 0 $a Physics $x History $y 17th century. 650 0 $a Enlightenment. 651 0 $a Europe $x Intellectual life $y 17th century. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Wang, Xiaona (Science historian) $t Handling "occult qualities" in the Scientific Revolution $d Leiden ; Boston : Brill, [2023] $z 9789004535473 $w (DLC) 2022049304 830 0 $a History of science and medicine library. $p Medieval and early modern philosophy and science ; $v v. 37. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230706013638.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=06C18CEA010C11EEB5B5CDCD2BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
