Moderne Gesellschaften begreifen sich selbst als Wissensgesellschaften. - - "Wissen" steht hierbei sowohl für eine individuelle Schlüsselqualifikation der einzelnen Bürger als auch für die gesellschaftliche Voraussetzung für Innovation. Die notwendige "Wissenschaftlichkeit des Wissens" wird zum einen durch ihre (empirische) Belegbarkeit und Überprüfbarkeit und zum anderen durch eine Analyse ihrer historischen Gewachsenheit gewährleistet. - - In diesem Sinne trägt Wissenschaftsgeschichte nicht nur zur Selbstvergewisserung - wissenschaftlicher Disziplinen und zur Analyse historischer Zusammenhänge, - sondern auch zur Identitätsfindung moderner Gesellschaften bei. - - Im September 2006 wurde das "Aachener Kompetenzzentrum für Wissenschaftsgeschichte" (AKWG) gegründet. Ziel des AKWG ist es, die wissenschaftshistorischen Kompetenzen unterschiedlicher an der Rheinisch-Westfälischen Technischen Hochschule (RWTH) Aachen vertretener Disziplinen zusammenzuführen. Dabei liegt dem AKWG ein weites Verständnis von Wissenschaftsgeschichte als Geschichte der spezifischen Art und Weise der überprüfbaren Auseinandersetzung mit der Welt, unter Einschluss des Menschen als geistigem Wesen, zugrunde. - - Neben Historikern unterschiedlicher Fachrichtungen (Medizin-, Technik-, Sozial- und Wirtschaftsgeschichte) und Epochen (Alte Geschichte, Mittelalterliche Geschichte, Frühneuzeitliche Geschichte, Neuere und Neueste Geschichte) gehören ihm auch Wissenschaftstheoretiker sowie Literaturwissenschaftler und Informatiker mit "historischen" Forschungsinteressen an. - - Diese Zusammensetzung verweist bereits auf ein weiteres Ziel des Zentrums: die intensivierte interdisziplinäre Zusammenarbeit. - - Der vorliegende Sammelband ging aus einem "Thementag Wissenschaftsgeschichte" - hervor, der am 14. Juni 2007 an der RWTH ausgerichtet und von Gerhard Müller- - Strahl (Institut für Geschichte, Theorie & Ethik der Medizin) moderiert wurde. - - An diesem Tag stellten Mitglieder des AKWG wissenschaftshistorische und -theoretisch Beiträge aus unterschiedlichen Disziplinen und Epochen zum Thema "Visualisierung" vor. - - Auch wenn die den Referaten folgenden Diskussionen an dieser Stelle nicht aufgenommen werden konnten, so geben die Beiträge, die von nahezu allen Referenten dankenswerter Weise für den Abdruck zur Verfügung gestellt wurden und durch Arbeiten weiterer Mitglieder des AKWG ergänzt werden konnten, doch deutliche Hinweise auf die - Bedeutung interdisziplinären Austausches und auf das erkenntnisgewinnende Potential - wissenschaftshistorischer Forschung.

During the European Middle Ages, diagrams provided a critical tool of analysis in cosmological and theological debates. In addition to drawing relationships among diverse areas of human knowledge and experience, diagrams themselves generated such knowledge in the first place. In Diagramming Devotion, Jeffrey F. Hamburger examines two monumental works that are diagrammatic to their core: a famous set of picture poems of unrivaled complexity by the Carolingian monk Hrabanus Maurus, devoted to the praise of the cross, and a virtually unknown commentary on Hrabanus’s work composed almost five hundred years later by the Dominican friar Berthold of Nuremberg. Berthold’s profusely illustrated elaboration of Hrabnus translated his predecessor’s poems into a series of almost one hundred diagrams. By examining Berthold of Nuremberg’s transformation of a Carolingian classic, Hamburger brings modern and medieval visual culture into dialogue, traces important changes in medieval visual culture, and introduces new ways of thinking about diagrams as an enduring visual and conceptual model.

Visual representations (photographs, diagrams, etc.) play crucial roles in scientific processes. They help, for example, to communicate research results and hypotheses to scientific peers as well as to the lay audience. In genuine research activities they are used as evidence or as surrogates for research objects which are otherwise cognitively inaccessible. Despite their important functional roles in scientific practices, philosophers of science have more or less neglected visual representations in their analyses of epistemic methods and tools of reasoning in science. This book is meant to fill this gap. It presents a detailed investigation into central conceptual issues and into the epistemology of visual representations in science.

This collection offers a new understanding of the epistemology of measurement. The interdisciplinary volume explores how measurements are produced, for example, in astronomy and seismology, in studies of human sexuality and ecology, in brain imaging and intelligence testing. It considers photography as a measurement technology and Henry David Thoreau's poetic measures as closing the gap between mind and world. By focusing on measurements as the hard-won results of conceptual as well as technical operations, the authors of the book no longer presuppose that measurement is always and exclusively a means of representing some feature of a target object or entity. Measurement also provides knowledge about the degree to which things have been standardized or harmonized – it is an indicator of how closely human practices are attuned to each other and the world.

When images look like something they do so because they are different from what they resemble. This difference is not sufficiently captured by the traditional theories of representation and mimesis, and yet it is the condition for any such theory. Various contemporary image theorists have pointed out that Plato already understood that images are not what they look like. Images have their own existence which cannot be identified with a concept, but should be examined in terms of actions. This book comprises fifteen articles that investigate what images do, particularly in relation to the disciplines of architecture, design and visual arts. It claims that it is the differentiating power of images-their actions-which constitutes their capacity to look like something they are not, as well as create something that does not yet exist. What Images Do addresses the crucial role that images might play in producing and investigating what we have not yet seen or understood in and of reality.

The second century CE has often been described as a kind of dark period with regard to our knowledge of how the earliest Christian writings (the gospels and Paul’s letters) were transmitted and gradually came to be accepted as authoritative and then, later on, as “canonical”. At the same time a number of other Christian texts, of various genres, saw the light. Some of these seem to be familiar with the gospels, or perhaps rather with gospel traditions identical or similar to those that found their way into the NT gospels. The volume focuses on representative texts and authors of the time in order to see how they have struggled to find a way to work with the NT gospels and/or the traditions behind these, while at the same time giving a place also to other extra-canonical traditions. It studies in a comparative way the reception of identifiably “canonical” and of extra-canonical traditions in the second century. It aims at discovering patterns or strategies of reception within the at first sight often rather chaotic way some of these ancient authors have cited or used these traditions. And it will look for explanations of why it took such a while before authors got used to cite gospel texts (more or less) accurately.

Exploring the formation of networks across late medieval Central Europe, this book examines the complex interaction of merchants, students, artists, and diplomats in a web of connections that linked the region. These individuals were friends in business ventures, occasionally families, and not infrequently foes. No single activity linked them, but rather their interconnectivity through matrices based in diverse modalities was key. Partnerships were not always friendship networks, art was sometimes passed between enemies, and families created for financial gain. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, the chapters focus on inclusion and exclusion within intercultural networks, both interpersonal and artistic, using a wide spectrum of source materials and methodological approaches. The concept of friends is considered broadly, not only as connections of mutual affection but also simply through business relationships. Families are considered in terms of how they helped or hindered local integration for foreigners and the matrimonial strategies they pursued. Networks were also deeply impacted by rivalry and hostility.

This book is offers a broad, comparative survey of a booming field within the history of science: the history, generation, use, and function of images in scientific practice. It explores every aspect of visuality in science, arguing for the concept of visual domains. What makes a good scientific image? What cultural baggage is essential to it? Is science indeed defined by its pictures? This book aims to provide a synthesis of the history, generation, use, and transfer of images in scientific practice. It delves into the rich reservoir of case studies on visual representations in scientific and technological practice that have accumulated over the past couple of decades by historians, sociologists, and philosophers of science. The main aim is thus located on the meta-level. It adopts an integrative view of recurrently noted general features of visual cultures in science and technology, something hitherto unachieved and believed by many to be a mission impossible. By systematic comparison of numerous case studies, the purview broadens away from myopic microanalysis in search of overriding patterns. The many different disciplines and research areas involved encompass mathematics, technology, natural history, medicine, the geosciences, astronomy, chemistry, and physics. The chosen examples span the period from the Renaissance to the late 20th century. The broad range of visual representations in scientific practice is treated, as well as schooling in pattern recognition, design and implementation of visual devices, and a narrowing in on the special role of illustrators and image specialists.

Absolute Beginners written by Wouter Goris and has been published by BRILL this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2007-11-30 with Philosophy categories.
Absolute Beginners adopts a variety of approaches to study the Absolute as the ultimate source of knowledge in medieval philosophy. From a historical perspective, it examines a forerunner of Spinoza’s departure from the Absolute in the Ethics: the doctrine of God as a first object in the generation of knowledge, as formulated by Henry of Ghent (†1293) and Richard Conington (†1330). Methodologically, it offers a case-study in the construction of an historical object, calling into question the self-evident and spontaneous way in which elements in the history of philosophy - its concepts and theories - are presented as primary givens. In a systematic sense, this study includes a reflection on structural indeterminacy, as pervading and stabilizing the differential system of exclusions which makes up the doctrine of God as a first object in the generation of knowledge.
