The Very Idea of Modern Science by Joseph Agassi

8This error is understandable: Boyle’s verbosity that was so useful then is intolerable now. In order to read it I had to write down a précis of it first. Only then could I find that it is not really theological.

9The idea that the universe is a temple, Boyle says, he borrowed from Philo Judeus. The idea that the researcher is a priest is his own, and it enhanced Philo’s idea by infusing it with a practical suggestion.

10This idea is usually ascribed to Spinoza, Boyle’s younger contemporary, as he was the first to elaborate on it. Berkeley repeated the same idea in a variant in his The World as Divine Visual language.
