William Harvey and His Methods

description The statement has been repeated so often as to seem a truism, that science in the time of Galileo and Harvey suddenly came of age, dropping its juvenilities, most of them the heritage of Aristotle. In a word, the measurements which Galileo performed painstakingly and interpreted critically in the Dialogues concerning the Two New Sciences, and the arithmetical suppositions which assisted William Harvey in proving that the blood moves in a circuit through the body, have been taken as the ushers of a bold new age of mathematical method and scientific achievement and integrity. In this paper I hope to do nothing to dim the quite properly effulgent reputations of these men, and what I have to say about Harvey will carry with it high approval. But I shall endeavor to make clear that his advances have been of a different sort from those commonly attributed.
