Luc Peterschmitt, The Circulating Structure of Space in the 17th century Chemical Tradition.This volume is an important re-evaluation of space and spatiality in the late Renaissance and early modern period. History of science has generally reduced sixteenth and seventeenth century space to a few canonical forms. This volume gives a much needed antidote. The contributing chapters examine the period’s staggering richness of spatiality: the geometrical, geographical, perceptual and elemental conceptualizations of space that abounded. The goal is to begin to reconstruct the amalgam of “spaces” which co-existed and cross-fertilized in the period’s many disciplines and visions of nature. Our volume will be a valuable resource for historians of science, philosophy and art, and for cultural and literary theorists.Studies in History and Philosophy of Science,0929-6425 ;41HistoryPhilosophyPhilosophy and scienceHistory of Sciencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/731000History of Philosophyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E15000Philosophy of Sciencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E34000History.Philosophy.Philosophy and science.History of Science.History of Philosophy.Philosophy of Science.111.850947Vermeir Koenedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtRegier Jonathanedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910254785503321Boundaries, Extents and Circulations2137996UNINA
