Das Buch von Julia Weber zeigt, auf welche Weise das von Aristoteles herrührende Verständnis von virtuellen Kräften als real nicht nachweisbaren, aber dennoch wirksamen Kräften den philosophischen Diskurs bis in die Moderne geprägt hat. Es verfolgt die Entwicklungen von den philosophischen Diskussionen um die Existenz von virtuellen Kräften in der Antike und im Mittelalter über das Aufkommen von virtuellen Räumen in der Frühen Neuzeit bis hin zur Entstehung von virtuellen Welten in der Literatur des 18. Jahrhunderts und macht auf diese Weise die bisher kaum nachvollzogenen Kontinuitäten und Verschiebungen zwischen antiken philosophischen Kraftdiskussionen und zeitgenössischen virtual realities sichtbar. Julia Weber’s book demonstrates how Aristotle’s understanding of virtual forces as undetectable but nonetheless effective has shaped philosophical discourse up until the modern age. It traces developments from philosophical debate about the existence of virtual forces in antiquity and the Middle Ages to the emergence of virtual spaces in the early modern period, and the appearance of virtual worlds in 18th-century literature. In this way, it reveals the seldom traced continuities and shifts between ancient philosophical discussion of forces and contemporary virtual realities.

Once, the concept of 'the Scientific Revolution of the 17th century' was innovative and inspiring, yielding what is still the master narrative of the rise of modern science. That narrative, however, has turned into a straitjacket-so often events and contexts just fail to fit in. Even so, in Floris Cohen's view neither the early, theory-centered historiography nor present-day contextual and practice-oriented approaches compel us to drop the concept altogether. Instead, he offers here a narrative restructured from the ground up, by means of a comprehensive approach, sustained comparisons, and a tenacious search for underlying patterns. Key to his analysis is a vision of the Scientific Revolution as made up of six distinct, yet tightly interconnected revolutionary transformations, each of some twenty-five-to-thirty years' duration. This vision enables him to explain how modern science could come about in Europe rather than in Greece, China, or the Islamic world.'
