The class focuses on the Scientific Revolution in which new inductive experimental methods and instrumentation were applied to studying aspects of nature of interest to natural philosophers, theologians, and society in a seventeenth-century English context. We will consider the engagement with issues of miraculous healings, the application of alchemy, and the concept of the plurality of worlds as characterized by Fellows of the Royal Society (founded1660), whose ranks were constituted by natural philosophers, physicians, and clergymen. The unprecedented advances in natural philosophy of the seventeenth-century Scientific Revolution will interest students and enthusiasts of history, science, theology, and medicine.
