商品描述
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.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
專注於晚期中世紀和早期現代的哲學與醫學,本編輯集探討了在現代時期初期,支配中世紀的身體理論——形式質料論(hylomorphism)被新物質理論如粒子論(corpuscularianism)和原子論(atomism)取代的過程。這些貢獻共同提供了一個關鍵歷史時刻的全面概述,該時刻對於哲學和科學的歷史至關重要:新物質觀念的興起與衰退的學院派理論相對立。它們通過研究在這一轉變中至關重要的精確概念,突顯了這一歷史過渡的關鍵方面,即元素、原子和微粒的概念。這本書揭示了形式質料論如何逐漸被更積極的物質和自然過程觀念所取代的過程,並展示了許多晚期中世紀的思想家如何願意將新理論整合進亞里士多德自然哲學的概念框架中,並試圖將其與傳統的學院派教義的概念和公理協調起來。作者展示了這些概念創新是如何源於晚期中世紀和早期現代知識不同領域之間的複雜互動,並將形而上學、中世紀哲學和醫學科學的研究結合在一起。這本書提供了從中世紀到現代時期的重要理論轉變的概述,對於哲學學者以及中世紀和早期現代科學與醫學的歷史學家來說,都是必讀之作。
