Right-wingers, much like H.P Lovecraft are afraid of Non-Euclidean shapes.
I’m pretty sure Thomas “It is not theft, properly speaking, to take secretly and use another’s property in a case of extreme need: Because that which he takes for the support of his life becomes his own property by reason of that need.” Aquinas would’ve probably taken his work to his grave if he saw what people repping his name were doing.
Everything else aside that is some shitty bio textbooks.
Galen will literally not teach you a single useful things on actual matters of science.
And while medicine owes a lot to Harvey, the man didn’t know what a capillary was because how the fuck would he. Like not to shit on De Motu Cordis, but the parts of his thesis that are correct you shouldn’t have left high school not knowing.
Same goes for Mendel.
De Koennick may be good I guess, I wouldn’t know. But it appears to not even be a book, but a chapter in a book that isn’t biology because it’s a theologian writing a philosophy book.
It looks like they just added random “classic” texts and sprinkled in catholicism when appropriate. So you have Mendel rather than Darwin.
I mean, they just namedrop random mathematicians but somehow skipped out on Gauss and Euler. These students will somehow graduate knowing about general relativity but not know trigonometry or linear algebra.
Also, they completely skip out on chemistry and pretend quantum physics doesn’t exist. I guess science can’t explain how things work at a molecular and atomic level. Anything smaller than a blood cell is just a big mystery. Stuff just happens in accordance with God’s will.
Or they’re lowkey advertising to people worried about Judenphysik corrupting their youth
Oh yeah no this is hard catholic nonsense. You’re wanking off medieval natural philosophy, you have an optics reading list, and you don’t have any fucking Alhazen? An scholastic would punch you.
I think we had like 2 classes on Mendel when we were 12.
Did you do punnett squares?
Sure
Guy loved his legumes
So do we all
