History and the Disciplines

The Reclassification of Knowledge in Early Modern Europe
Herausgeber: Kelley, Donald R

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This collection of essays addresses, in specific historical ways and from particular disciplinary standpoints, the problem of knowledge and what used to be called the classification of the sciences. What is, or what passes for, knowledge? What are its divisions, and how should they be related? Who possesses this knowledge, and to what uses has it been put? How is it transmitted, and how can its history be understood and written? Ranging across the epistemological barrier formed by the revolution of modern science, these contributions inquire into the changing disciplinary patterns of the tumultuous times between the renaissance and the enlightenment, that saw the fragmentation of old ideals and the creation of European modernity.Contributors: DONALD R. KELLEY, ANN BLAIR, PAUL NELLES, CONSTANCE BLACKWELL, ULRICH SCHNEIDER, MARTIN MULSOW, J.B. SCHNEEWIND, DONALD VERENE, PETER MILLER, ANN MOYERS, MICHAEL SEIDLER, ANTHONY PAGDEN, PAULA FINDLEN, ANTHONY GRAFTON, HEIKKI MIKKELI, NICHOLAS JARDINE, LONDA SCHIEBINGER
