Book Description
Die epochalen Umbrüche im Denken der Frühen Neuzeit waren für die Ausbildung des Weltbilds der Moderne von prägender Kraft. Die Entdeckungen und Neuorientierungen, die Europa in der Zeit zwischen 1400 und 1700 bewegten, bilden nicht nur die Vorgeschichte der Gegenwart, sondern markieren deren Beginn. Mit dem Handbuch Departure for Modern Europe, das die Beiträge des 2007 ausgetragenen Ersten Internationalen Kongresses der European Society for Early Modern Philosophy enthält, liegt erstmalig eine von Experten internationalen Ranges zusammengestellte umfassende Gesamtschau der Erneuerungen und Neuansätzen in allen Bereichen der tätigen Weltgestaltung und intellektuellen Welterfassung in der Frühen Neuzeit vor, auf denen unser modernes Weltbild beruht. Von der Entdeckung der Ökonomie als der treibenden Kraft für die Umformungen der Gesellschaft über die Anerkennung der Freiheit des Subjekts bis hin zur Erneuerung der Wissenschaften unter dem Primat des Kriteriums der empirischen Forschung bleibt die Frühe Neuzeit unter allen Epochen der Philosophie- und Wissenschaftsgeschichte diejenige, auf die wir zuerst zurückblicken müssen, wenn es darum geht, das Weltbild der Moderne aus seinen Anfängen zu verstehen. Das mehrsprachige Handbuch ist auf die folgenden Aspekte fokussiert: 1) the self-reflection of early modern philosophy, 2) the analysis of early modern knowledge about nature, 3) early modern knowledge about man in general and 4) early modern knowledge about human action in particular, and 5) the relation between early modern knowledge and its environment.

'Early Modern' is a term applied to the period which falls between the end of the middle ages and the beginning of the nineteenth century.

Imagining Contagion in Early Modern Europe
Author: Claire L. Carlin
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 0230522610
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
The ideological underpinnings of early modern theories of contagion are dissected in this volume by an integrated team of literary scholars, cultural historians, historians of medicine and art historians. Even today, the spread of disease inspires moralizing discourse and the ostracism of groups thought responsible for contagion; the fear of illness and the desire to make sense of it are demonstrated in the current preoccupation with HIV, SARS, 'mad cow' disease, West Nile virus and avian flu, to cite but a few contemporary examples. Imagining Contagion in Early Modern Europe explores the nature of understanding when humanity is faced with threats to its well-being, if not to its very survival.

The Oxford Handbook of Early Modern European History, 1350-1750
Author: Hamish M. Scott
Publisher: Oxford Handbooks
ISBN: 0199597251
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 817
Book Description
This Handbook re-examines the concept of early modern history in a European and global context. The term 'early modern' has been familiar, especially in Anglophone scholarship, for four decades and is securely established in teaching, research, and scholarly publishing. More recently, however, the unity implied in the notion has fragmented, while the usefulness and even the validity of the term, and the historical periodisation which it incorporates, have been questioned. The Oxford Handbook of Early Modern European History, 1350-1750 provides an account of the development of the subject during the past half-century, but primarily offers an integrated and comprehensive survey of present knowledge, together with some suggestions as to how the field is developing. It aims both to interrogate the notion of 'early modernity' itself and to survey early modern Europe as an established field of study. The overriding aim will be to establish that 'early modern' is not simply a chronological label but possesses a substantive integrity. Volume I examines 'Peoples and Place', assessing structural factors such as climate, printing and the revolution in information, social and economic developments, and religion, including chapters on Orthodoxy, Judaism and Islam.
