The Invention of Discovery, 1500-1700

Herausgeber: Fleming, James Dougal

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

From Bacon to Galileo, from stagecraft to maths, from martyrology to romance, contributors to this interdisciplinary collection examine the early-modern generation of discovery as an absolute and ostensibly neutral standard of knowledge-production. They further investigate the hermeneutic implications for the epistemological authority that tends, in modernity, still to be based on that standard.
