Robert Boyle: A Free Enquiry into the Vulgarly Received Notion of Nature - Cambridge Texts in the History of Philosophy
Robert Boyle
In this book, published in 1686, the scientist Robert Boyle attacked prevailing notions of the natural world which depicted 'Nature' as a wise, benevolent and purposeful being. His Free Enquiry represents one of the subtlest statements concerning the philosophical issues raised by the mechanical philosophy to emerge from the period of the scientific revolution.
