The Dutch Republic around 1600 was a laboratory of the Scientific Revolution of the
seventeenth century. Here conditions were favourable for the development of new ways
of knowing nature and the natural philosopher Isaac Beeckman, who was born in Middelburg
in 1588, was a seminal figure in this context. He laid the groundwork for the strictly
mechanical philosophy that is at the heart of the new science. Descartes and others
could build on what they learned, directly or indirectly, from Beeckman. As previous
studies have mainly dealt with the scientific content of Beeckman's thinking, this
volume also explores the wider social, scientific and cultural context of his work.
Beeckman was both a craftsman and a scholar and fruitfully combined artisanal ways
of knowing with international scholarly traditions. Beeckman's extensive private notebook
offers a unique perspective on the cultures of knowledge that emerged in this crucial
period in intellectual history
