Jesuit Science And The Republic Of Letters by Mordechai Feingold
A series of case studies explores how the Society of Jesus built educational, research, and correspondence networks that integrated mathematics, astronomy, and natural philosophy into the early modern Republic of Letters. It traces the circulation of observations, instruments, and texts across colleges and global missions, highlighting exchanges between Europe, Asia, and the Americas while addressing the tensions between doctrinal authority and empirical inquiry. The result is a reassessment of their contributions to scientific practice and public intellectual life from the late sixteenth to eighteenth centuries.
