Enrico Pasini deposited Arcanum Artis Inveniendi: Leibniz and Analysis on Humanities Commons 6 years, 4 months ago
Leibniz was undoubtedly a many-sided man, and a polymathic mind, if ever there was one. The concept of analysis is notoriously, for its part, a polycephalous monster, and nearly all its meanings are spread through Leibniz’s works, in juridical, scientific, mathematical, or philosophical contexts, under different conditions and with different p…[Read more]

Renaissance / Early Modern Studies on Humanities Commons 6 years, 7 months agoThe foreword (here in pre-print version) introduces the scope of this special issue, that is, a re-interpretation of the development of 18th-century German philosophy.

Renaissance / Early Modern Studies on Humanities Commons 6 years, 7 months agoDid it all begin with Tschirnhaus? This paper (here in pre-print version) discusses the exemplary role that Tschirnhaus could play in the reconstruction of an empirically oriented, scientific, somewhat radical and variously unorthodox current in 18th-century German philosophy, starting from 18th-century characterizations of his intellectual image.

Renaissance / Early Modern Studies on Humanities Commons 6 years, 7 months agoFrom Spanish and Portuguese travelers to Maupertuis, the problem of albinos, or ‘white Negroes’, as they would be called, has been an epitome of strangeness, a disturbing and/or marvelous appendix to human essence, and has often been instrumental to various definitions of identity. Some major historical and cultural episodes concerning the int…[Read more]

Enrico Pasini deposited Segni e algoritmo nell’analisi leibniziana in the group
Renaissance / Early Modern Studies on Humanities Commons 6 years, 7 months agoDescartes’ Regulae are the first text in which the idea of a universal mathematics is put in connection with algebra. Young Descartes thinks of geometrical figures as a representation of algebraic procedures so as to guarantee its feasibility: i.e., an epistemological foundation of analysis. The young Leibniz starts from a similar problem. He…[Read more]

Since such insensible appetitions are the medium of interaction, through the body, between the individual and the physical world, and the form in which, at a microscopic level, environmental…[Read more]
