The Quantifying Spirit in the Eighteenth Century is a scholarly collection that explores how the intellectual and cultural climate of the 18th century was transformed by an increasing emphasis on measurement, calculation, and mathematical methods. Edited by historians Tore Frangsmyr, J. L. Heilbron, and Robin E. Rider, the book examines the rise of what the authors call the “quantifying spirit”—a mindset that brought numerical precision, systematic organization, and quantitative reasoning into a wide range of intellectual fields. The essays in this volume trace how these quantitative approaches influenced the rationalization of knowledge, the development of the exact sciences, and the application of measurement in disciplines such as astronomy, meteorology, and natural history. Through historical case studies and thematic analysis, the book shows how numbers and measurement became central tools of Enlightenment thought, profoundly shaping scientific practice and broader cultural understandings of the world.
