How did this desire in turn link the epistemological crises produced by the religious upheavals of early modern Europe with the development of new scientific methods? This volume recontextualizes the production of knowledge in the early modern period (1550-1700), focusing on the social and institutional dimensions of inquiry in light of political and cultural challenges. The collection explores how uncertainties about religious identities (and even the status of irreligion) challenged traditional modes of learning. As knowledge of all sorts was integrated into different traditions in a context of unprecedented religious questioning, institutions and texts sought new means of controlling and regulating "truth." Questions of representation became newly fraught as the production of knowledge increasingly challenged established orthodoxies. --Provided by publisher.Religion and civilizationHistory17th centuryEuropefastEuropeCivilisation17e siecleEuropeCivilization17th centuryInquisition.Jesuit learning.Spain.early modern biblical exegesis.early modern epistemology.early modern literature.early modern skepticism.history of medicine.history of religion.picaresque.Religion and civilizationHistory200.904Fuchs Barbara authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut176857Fuchs BarbaraGarcía-Arenal MercedesMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910793941803321The quest for certainty in early modern Europe3855688UNINA
