Contemporary scientific  explanation is rigorously differentiated from religious  interpretation, although, to be sure, scientists sometimes do the  philosophical work of interpreting the metaphysics of space, time, and  matter. However, it is rare that either theologians or philosophers  convincingly claim that they are doing the scientific work of physical  scientists and mathematicians. \u003cbr\u003e  The rigidity of these divisions and differentiations is relatively  new. Modern physical science was invented slowly and gradually through  interactions of the aims and contents of mathematics, theology, and  natural philosophy since the seventeenth century. In essays ranging in  focus from seventeenth-century interpretations of heavenly comets to  twentieth-century explanations of tracks in bubble chambers, ten  historians of science demonstrate metaphysical and theological threads  continuing to underpin the epistemology and practice of the physical  sciences and mathematics, even while they became disciplinary  specialties during the last three centuries. The volume is prefaced by  tributes to Erwin N. Hiebert, whose teaching and scholarship have  addressed and inspired attention to these issues. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-06\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401050975\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-2488-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 229cm x152cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 278\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45378525593740,"sku":"9789401050975","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401050975.jpg?v=1772024798","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789401050975","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
