The Latin Middle Ages were characterised by a vast array of different representations of nature. These conceptualisations of the natural world were developed according to the specific requirements of many different disciplines, with the consequent result of producing a fragmentation of images of nature. Despite this plurality, two main tendencies emerged. On the one hand, the natural world was seen as a reflection of God’s perfection, teleologically ordered and structurally harmonious. On the other, it was also considered as a degraded version of the spiritual realm – a world of impeccable ideas, separate substances, and celestial movers. This book focuses on this tension between order and randomness, and idealisation and reality of nature in the Middle Ages. It provides a cutting-edge profile of the doctrinal and semantic richness of the medieval idea of nature, and also illustrates the structural interconnection among learned and scientific disciplines in the medieval period, stressing the fundamental bond linking together science and philosophy, on the one hand, and philosophy and theology, on the other. This book will appeal to scholars and students alike interested in Medieval European History, Theology, Philosophy, and Science.

Weathering the Reformation explores the role of the Little Ice Age in early modern Christian culture and considers climate as a contributing factor in the Protestant Reform. The book focuses on religious narratives from Strasbourg between 1509 and 1541, pivotal years during which the European cultural concept of nature splintered along confessional differences. Together with case studies from antagonistic religious communities, Linnéa Rowlatt draws on annual weather reports for a period during which the climate became less hospitable to human endeavours. Social uunrest and the cultural upheaval of Reform are examined in relation to deteriorating climactic conditions characteristic of the Spörer Minimum. This book will be of particular interest to scholars of religious history and climate history.

Does a plant shrink at night and swell in the day, like an animal breathing in and out? For a long time, the Galenic concept of spiritus provided a causal explanation for human and animal life and perception. Albert the Great (1200-1280), whose honorific acknowledges among other things his pioneering work on biology, extended the concept to plants. This is only one of the remarkable concepts studied in this book, the first comparative study of Albert's concept of spiritus. It unveils the Arabic roots of his early psychophysiology and the original developments found in his mature Aristotelian paraphrases.

Wie weit kann ein christlicher Denker Avicenna folgen, wenn er dessen Ontologie zur Erklärung des Verhältnisses von Gott und Welt heranzieht? Dieser zentralen Frage der Avicenna-Rezeption widmet sich die vorliegende Arbeit. Avicenna (980-1037) entwickelt in der Metaphysik - dem vierten Teil seiner philosophischen Summe Buch der Heilung - den Grundgedanken seiner Ontologie: die Distinktion von Sein und Wesen, die zu einem seiner bekanntesten und einflussreichsten Lehrstücke wurde. Nach der lateinischen Übersetzung von Avicennas Metaphysik im zwölften Jahrhundert fand die darin entworfene Ontologie rasche Verbreitung unter den lateinisch-christlichen Gelehrten. Für deren monotheistische Weltanschauung war diese Lehre insofern attraktiv, als sich aus der Sein-Wesen-Distinktion die wichtigsten ontologischen Aspekte der Beziehung von Gott und Welt rein rational ableiten lassen. Vor diesem Hintergrund stellt sich die genannte Frage, wie weit ein christlicher Denker mit Avicenna gehen kann, wenn er dessen Ontologie heranzieht, um das Verhältnis von Gott und Welt zu erklären. Diese Frage untersucht die Autorin für die drei Gelehrten Dominicus Gundisalvi (gest. nach 1190), Wilhelm von Auvergne (gest. 1249) und Heinrich von Gent (gest. 1293). Die Verschränkung von Ontologie, Theologie und Kosmogonie gibt der Autorin die Möglichkeit, für diese drei Bereiche jeweils herauszuarbeiten, an welchen Stellen und aus welchen Motiven Modifikationen an der avicennischen Theorie vorgenommen wurden, um sie eigenen Zwecken oder neuen Kontexten wie der Trinitätstheologie anzupassen. Zugleich zeigt sie auf, an welchen Punkten mit Avicennas Theorie gänzlich gebrochen wurde. Was bedeuten diese Änderungen und Brüche inhaltlich? Und insbesondere: Wie werden sie rational gerechtfertigt?

A.C. Crombie is one of the best known writers on the history of Science. Science, Optics and Music in Medieval and Early Modern Thought brings together a coherent body of essays that complement his books and are of independent value. A.C. Crombie traces general themes in the development of Science: the Aristotelian inheritance and the importance of the search for logical explanation in the middle ages; the ambitions and limitations of experiment and quantification; changing attitudes to scientific progress; the relations between Science and the Arts, and between Mathematics, Music and Medical Science; and the study of the senses. In particular he shows how the mechanistic hypothesis stimulated the experimental and philosophical study of vision.

This book examines the relationship between humans and nature that evolved in medieval Europe over the course of a millennium. From the beginning, people lived in nature and discovered things about it. Ancient societies bequeathed to the Middle Ages both the Bible and a pagan conception of natural history. These conflicting legacies shaped medieval European ideas about the natural order and what economic, moral, and biological lessons it might teach. This book analyzes five themes found in medieval views of nature - grafting, breeding mules, original sin, property rights, and disaster - to understand what some medieval people found in nature and what their assumptions and beliefs kept them from seeing.

Focussing on late medieval and early modern philosophy and medicine, this edited collection explores the replacement of hylomorphism—the dominant theory of bodies in the Middle Ages—with new theories of matter such as corpuscularianism and atomism at the dawn of the Modern period. Together, the contributions offer a comprehensive overview of a crucial historical moment for the history of philosophy and science: the rise of a new conception of matter against declining scholastic theories. They highlight the key aspects of this historical transition by investigating precise concepts that were central to this shift, namely the notions of elements, atoms, and corpuscles. Shedding light on the gradual process by which hylomorphism was eventually replaced by a more positive conception of matter and natural processes, the book demonstrates how many thinkers of the late medieval period were willing to integrate new theories into the conceptual framework of Aristotelian natural philosophy, and tried to harmonise them with the traditional concepts and axioms of scholastic doctrines. Showing how these conceptual innovations resulted from a complex interaction between different fields of late medieval and early modern knowledge, the authors bring together research from the disciplines of metaphysics, medieval philosophy, and medical science. Providing an overview of an important theoretical shift in the transition from the Middle Ages to the Modern Era, this book is essential reading for scholars of philosophy, and historians of medieval and early modern science and medicine.

The role of science in society, along with its nature and development, are commonly misunderstood by students in the social sciences and humanities, and even those studying in the field. Fernando Espinoza shines light on these misconceptions to give readers a deeper understanding of science and its effect and influence upon society, through historical, philosophical, and sociological perspectives. This book incorporates the mandates by national organizations such as the National Research Council and National Science Teachers Association and is a useful text for required courses of general education majors and science courses for preservice teachers.
