The author argues that the ideational relationships between the arts and sciences that many critics and historians attest to are delusional. He proposes new and surprising theories that encompass Cubism and the logics of Russell, Hilbert, and Brouwer; Seurat and new notions of reality; the common ground upon which The Bauhaus, Expressionism, Nazism, and Mannheim's Sociology of Knowledge stand on; Cezanne and non-Euclidean geometries.

Excerpt from Art and Scientific Thought: Historical Studies Towards a Modern Revision of Their Antagonism That, he most patiently reiterated, is not the concern of Science. With these talks in view, he refers to his Socratic questioner. But then! - Socrates was not only heretical but dangerous in the eyes of his enemies on account of a wisdom to which they were blind (as may be certain devotees either of the arts or of the sciences in respect to the main thesis of this book). And no one but a gentleman nonpareil could have been the subject of the Phaedo. His method indeed was to reveal how hazy was the knowledge and how vague were the sentiments of those whom he catechised, while being himself perfectly assured that he knew the right answers, which he thereupon elucidated. My own feeble and precarious situation was precisely the reverse of this. And especially, needless to say, in respect to the Muse called Urania. Like any other novice (and this book is by no means intended solely for the expert) I could lapse into a momentary daydream over photographs of the nebulae of Andromeda or of Coma Berenices; could even hazard a mere guess whether its myriads of suns in their assembly suggested the spiral or the concentric; could intelligently enquire whether any such spiral was in process of winding up or of unwinding; and could faintly realise the difficulty occasioned by the varying stellar distances in unimaginable light years for any rapt student considering them on earth. But little further. I had no objection, rather the reverse, to abiding the crucial questions, mathematical, metaphysical, thus involved, as too Dr. Johnson magnanimously abided my own little simplicities, though in a different sense! But here there is less reason even for modesty; much more for shame and reproof. And it is here that we approach one of the paramount intentions of this book. Nowadays there is little excuse for staying ignorant, though there is immeasurably more excuse than there used to be for woefully failing in any aspiration to become omniscient. There is still less for remaining unconcerned, for being inertly insistent on the practical, the materialistic, the prosaic, or for deliberately confining the mind in minute compartments of that astonishing ship called Human Destiny - compartments which, even if they have the merit of being watertight, can hardly avoid being also rather airless.

The author sees the history of Western Science as the history of a vision and an argument, initiated by the ancient Greeks in their search for principles at once of nature and of argument itself. This scientific vision explored and controlled by argument, and the diversification of both vision and argument by scientific experience and by interaction with the wider contexts of intellectual culture, constitute the long history of European scientific thought. Underlying that development have been specific commitments to conceptions of nature and of science and its intellectual and moral assumptions, accompanied by a recurrent critique; their diversification has generated a series of different styles of scientific thinking and of making theoretical and practical decisions which the work describes.

A fresh contribution to the ongoing debate between Kunstwissenschaft (scientific study of art) and Kunstgeschichte (art history), this essay collection explores how German-speaking art historians of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century self-consciously generated a field of study. Prominent North American and European scholars provide new insights into how a mixing of diverse methodologies took place, in order to gain a more subtle and comprehensive understanding of how art history became institutionalized and legitimized in Germany. One common assumption about early art-historical writing in Germany is that it depended upon a simplistic and narrowly-defined formalism. This book helps to correct this stereotype by demonstrating the complexity of discussion surrounding formalist concerns, and by examining how German-speaking art historians borrowed, incorporated, stole, and made analogies with concepts from the sciences in formulating their methods. In focusing on the work of some of the well-known 'fathers' of the discipline - such as Alois Riegl and Heinrich W?lfflin - as well as on lesser-known figures, the essays in this volume provide illuminating, and sometimes surprising, treatments of art history's prior and understudied interactions with a wide range of scientific orientations, from psychology, sociology, and physiognomics to evolutionism and comparative anatomy.

Thinking about Science, Reflecting on Art: Bringing Aesthetics and Philosophy of Science Together is the first book to systematically examine the relationship between the philosophy of science and aesthetics. With contributions from leading figures from both fields, this edited collection engages with such questions as: Does representation function in the same way in science and in art? What important characteristics do scientific models share with literary fictions? What is the difference between interpretation in the sciences and in the arts? Can there be a science of aesthetics? In what ways can aesthetics and philosophy of science be integrated? Aiming to develop the interconnections between the philosophy of science and the philosophy of art more broadly and more deeply than ever before, this volume not only explores scientific representation by comparison with fiction but extends the scope of interaction to include metaphysical and other questions around methodology in mainstream philosophy of science, including the aims of science, the characterisation of scientific understanding, and the nature of observation, as well as drawing detailed comparisons between specific examples in both art and the sciences.
