Autumn issue of _Society and Politics_:
God and the Order of Nature in Early Modern Thought: Topics in Metaphysics, Epistemology, and Natural Science
Invited editors: Laura Georgescu (University of Bucharest) and Grigore Vida (New Europe College, Bucharest)
Volume 6, Issue no. 2 (12), November 2012
The articles published in this issue develop various methodological
strategies for dealing with some conceptual changes of the Late
Renaissance and the seventeenth century, combining philosophical
interpretations with historical accuracy. The topics addressed in the
issue range from the reconfiguration of mathematical concepts such as
the geometrical proof, or the infinitesimals, to the ways in which the
physico-theological tradition has shaped the understanding of nature.
The articles share a common interest in grasping the patterns of
thinking specific for the early modern period, with its disciplinary
intricacies and ‘innovative’ agenda.
All articles are available in pdf format via this address:
