Résumé:

During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries a radical change occurred in the patterns and framework of European thought. The root and fruit of this revolution are modern science and modern philosophy. Dr. Koyré interprets this revolution in terms of the change that occurred in man's conception of his universe and of his own place in it and demonstrates the primacy of this change in the development of the modern world.
