CHAPTER 7

A NEW PARADIGM

OF KNOWLEDGE

While the Renaissance, the Reformation, the Wars of Religion, the implications of the New World, and Pyrrhonical skepticism were breaking down the medieval worldview, especially in terms of what can be known and how we can know it, in the background a different movement was laying the foundation for a new worldview by gradually developing a whole new paradigm for knowledge: the emergence of science from Christian natural philosophy. While a number of fields were developing during this period, including anatomy and physiology and chemistry, the changes in cosmology and physics are the most striking and will serve here as an example for the scientific revolution.
