| Description | This chapter examines the scientific developments of the seventeenth century up to 1691, any effects these had on thinking and learning and whether gendered notions and women's participation in natural philosophy changed as a consequence. The focus will then shift to England and developments in science, education and gender before the explosive publications of John Locke and Isaac Newton at the end of the century had much effect. 'Science' was still hardly distinguished from philosophy and as such was integral to the intellectual revolution of thought being played out at these time and affecting educational ideas. This context of contending scientific, religious, 'magic' and philosophical theories interweaving across Western Europe underlay developments in seventeenth-century England. The whole realm of knowledge – philosophy, 'scientific' ideas, religion – was so intertwined that to assault any part seemed to threaten the rest. More important for women was the growth of printing and scientific instruments. Book Name: Women in Science |
