The Hermetic of the Early Modern Period

By the late sixteenth century, and aristicelian physics, the mitives are haptic, they're not optic. And then from that period you get this huge transformation with galileo and descartes anddescartes. There they they don't care about haptic. The're all there very much about the optical. But that's a long way from where we were to day. Forgive me. No forgiveness needed for a jaunt through a fascinating intellectual history upto up to the early modern period. R rscweps project is delightful, and it's great fun to talk to you about these things.
