Robert Hooke, often overshadowed by contemporaries like Newton and Boyle, played a significant role in the history of science and philosophy, particularly in mechanics. Serving as the Curator of Experiments for the Royal Society of London, he conducted numerous experiments to uncover the mysteries of nature and enhance understanding of God's creation. This work aims to compile and analyze Hooke's contributions to mechanics, addressing the lack of scholarly attention he has received and highlighting his importance in the intellectual landscape of his time.

In this study the author scrutinizes the fundamental assumptions and presuppositions of the post-modern philosophical world-view that he claims dominates contemporary society. He synthesizes key developments in contemporary post-modernism from an historical perspective.

The exploration of ethical frameworks reveals the limitations of the man-centered model, which relies on absolute relativism, as an impractical guide for moral decision-making. In contrast, the God-centered model, grounded in relative absolutism, is presented as a more effective approach when properly understood. Centore delves into complex ethical dilemmas by integrating human experiences and reasoning with real-life choices. He advocates for a natural moral law that transcends specific theological doctrines, positioning the God-centered model as the most practical ethical framework.
