Abstract

Athanasius Kircher was commonly addressed with courdiest reverence by his contemporaries, but he was frequendy criticized and even despised in private correspondence. We examine here the evolution of die negative appraisal of his work by the members of the Republic of Letters in France, Italy, Germany and England, and we identify Kircher's shortcomings with the ideological attitude of Jesuit science aimed at uprooting the scientific world view.
