«História da Cultura em Portugal Vol. III: As Navegações e as Origens da Mentalidade Científica» is the historical essay by António José Saraiva, in paperback.
The work studies the Portuguese intellectual climate of the 16th century: the bourgeoisie linked to the navigations drove the critique of traditional values, free discussion and the progress of mechanical science, bases of a scientific mentality. Saraiva relates these changes to maritime expansion and the rise of a new mercantile class.
Volume III of the series «História da Cultura em Portugal», published by Gradiva in 2010; 168 pages, in Portuguese.
For readers interested in the history of Portugal, maritime expansion and the origins of scientific thought.
Portuguese university teacher (1917-1993)
