This book presents an overview of the state of learning in the 17th century and the problems the author identifies with it. It includes a historical overview of the development of fields such as language, logic, mathematics, natural philosophy, as well as the role of learning in society and religion. The author provides an introduction to each field and discusses the discoveries and controversies that marked the period. Through his analysis, the author concludes that research and development have been hindered by an over-reliance on ancient Greek thought and a neglect of experimentation and empiricism. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of learning and the development of scientific thought.
