Dana Jalobeanu, ed. Casa lui Solomon sau fascinaţia utopiei. Ştiinţă, religie şi politică în Anglia secolului al XVII-lea, ALL 2011
Casa lu Solomon: o misterioasă Frăţie a Luminii care produce, administrează şi păstrează cunoaştere, împletind tehnologia barocă cu ştiinţa experimentală, moralitatea stoică cu religia revelată şi modelul platonician al regelui filosof cu rolul pedagogului umanist. Jumătate societate secretă, jumătate institut de cercetare, Casa lui Solomon – invenţia literată a unui autor foarte critic la adresa literaturii – a reprezentat, în Anglia secolului al XVIi-lea, un model de urmat pentru diverse proiecte de reformă politică, religioasă sau ştiinţifică.
Volumul editat de Dana Jalobeanu este rezultatul unui proiect colectiv de cercetare care şi-a propus să descopere, să traducă şi să comenteze unele dintre cele mai cunoscute „continuări” ale Noii Atlantide publicate în Anglia secolului al XVII-lea. Multe dintre textele cuprinse în acest volum – astăzi complet uitate- au fost esenţiale pentru constituirea unor domenii centrale ale gândirii moderne. Ele dau seama în acelaşi timp de fascinaţia exercitată de proiectul baconian şi de neobişnuitele interacţiuni prezente în gândirea secolului al XVII-lea între ştiinţă, religie şi politică.

Public Reason is committed to a pluralistic approach, promoting interdisciplinary and original perspectives as long as the ideal of critical arguing and clarity is respected. The journal is intended for the international philosophical community, as well as for a broader public interested in political and moral philosophy.

Vanishing Matter and the Laws of Motion, Descartes and Beyond
Routledge Studies in Seventeenth-Century Philosophy
Edited by Dana Jalobeanu and Peter R. Anstey
Vanishing Matter Flyer (PDF)
This volume explores the themes of vanishing matter, matter and the laws of nature, the qualities of matter, and the
diversity of the debates about matter in the early modern period. Chapters are unified by a number of interlocking
themes which together enable some of the broader contours of the philosophy of matter to be charted in new ways. Part I concerns Cartesian Matter; Part II covers Matter, Mechanism and Medicine; Part III covers Matter and the Laws of Motion; and Part IV covers Leibniz and Hume. Bringing together some of the world’s leading scholars of early modern philosophy, as well as some exciting new researchers, Vanishing Matter and the Laws of Motion stakes out new
territory that all serious scholars of early modern philosophy and science will want to traverse.
