An important contribution to the problem of the transition from the world view characteristic of the medieval centuries to that which rapidly gained acceptance after the seventeenth century.
Koyré has provided the material and has illuminated it with uniformly perceptive and occasionally brilliant commentary... An important contribution to the study of 17th-century thought.
A model of scholarliness without pedantry, of clarity without oversimplification.
Surely a work that will be welcomed alike by the scientist, philosopher, and historian of ideas.
