Gardens, Knowledge and the Sciences in the Early Modern Period de Hubertus Fischer

Gardens, Knowledge and the Sciences in the Early Modern Period: Trends in the History of Science

Editat de Hubertus Fischer, Volker R. Remmert, Joachim Wolschke-Bulmahn
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 4 iun 2016
This volume focuses on the outstanding contributions made by botany and the mathematical sciences to the genesis and development of early modern garden art and garden culture. The many facets of the mathematical sciences and botany point to the increasingly “scientific” approach that was being adopted in and applied to garden art and garden culture in the early modern period. This development was deeply embedded in the philosophical, religious, political, cultural and social contexts, running parallel to the beginning of processes of scientization so characteristic for modern European history. This volume strikingly shows how these various developments are intertwined in gardens for various purposes.

Recenzii

 “Gardens have increasingly become the focus of scholarly attention. … This stimulating volume is one of the latest, most relevant contributions. … While describing garden and landscape design in relation to theoretical knowledge, horticulture, botany, and mathematics, this timely volume successfully addresses how much garden knowledge shaped early modern culture, sciences, and philosophy. Ultimately, the volume engagingly contributes to the inclusion of gardens in the scientific revolution of early modernity.” (Fabrizio Baldassarri, ISIS, Vol. 108 (4), December, 2017)
