Sažetak
One of the main characteristics of modern science is description of nature in mechanistic terms, i.e. natural phenomena are explained as analogous to mechanical devices. This presents a contrast to the majority of ancient philosophical systems which used livings organisms as a point of departure in explaining the non-living world. The focus of the course is on the development of “mechanistic philosophy” of P. Gassendi, G. Galilei, Th. Hobbes, R. Descartes and I. Newton. F. Petrić’s influence on Gassendi (directly) and on Galilei (indirectly) will be discussed too.
