Rewolucja galileuszowska zrodziła nauki szczegółowe (pozytywne), które z racji swej natury i stosowanych metod bardzo różniły się od tego, co istniało poprzednio. To z kolei, wytworzyło różnorodne i odrębne obszary badań.
Out of the Galileoan revolution came positive science, by nature and method very different from what existed before. This in turn produced various fields of study separated from each other.
