Founded in 1540 the Society of Jesus was viewed for centuries as an impediment to the development of modern science The Jesuit educational system was deemed conservative and antithetical to creative thought while the Order and its members were blamed by Galileo Descartes and their disciples for virtually every proceeding against the new science No wonder a consensus emerged that little reason existed for historians to take Jesuit science seriouslyOnly during the past two decades have scholars begun to question this received view of the Jesuit role in the Scientific Revolution and this book contributes significantly to that reassessment Focusing on the institutional setting of Jesuit science the contributors take a new and broader look at the overall intellectual environment of the Collegio Romano and other Jesuit colleges to see how Jesuit scholars taught and worked to examine the context of the Jesuit response to the new philosophies and to chart the Jesuits scientific contributions Their conclusions indicate that Jesuit practitioners were indeed instrumental in elevating the status of mathematics and in stressing the importance of experimental science yet at the same time the Jesuits were members of a religious order with a clearly defined apostolic mission Understanding both the contributions of Jesuit practitioners and the constraints under which they worked helps us to gain a clearer and more complete perspective on the emergence of the scientific worldview
