From frontispieces of books to monumental prints created by philosophers in collaboration with renowned artists, Susanna Berger examines visual representations of philosophy and overturns prevailing assumptions about the limited function of the visual in European intellectual history.Rather than merely illustrating already existing philosophical concepts, visual images generated new knowledge for both Aristotelian thinkers and anti-Aristotelians, such as Descartes and Hobbes. Printmaking and drawing played a decisive role in discoveries that led to a move away from the authority of Aristotle in the seventeenth century. Berger interprets visual art from printed books, student lecture notebooks, alba amicorum (friendship albums), broadsides, and paintings, and examines the work of such artists as Pietro Testa, Léonard Gaultier, Abraham Bosse, Dürer, and Rembrandt. In particular, she focuses on the rise and decline of the "plural image," a genre that was popular among early modern philosophers. Plural images brought multiple images together on the same page, often in order to visualize systems of logic, metaphysics, natural philosophy, or moral philosophy.Featuring previously unpublished prints and drawings from the early modern period and lavish gatefolds, The Art of Philosophy reveals the essential connections between visual commentary and philosophical thought. 606 $aArt, Modern$y18th century 606 $aArt, Renaissance 606 $aVisual communication in art$zEurope$xHistory 606 $aAesthetics, Modern$y18th century 606 $aAesthetics, Modern$y17th century 606 $aArt and philosophy$zEurope 615 0$aArt, Modern 615 0$aArt, Renaissance. 615 0$aVisual communication in art$xHistory. 615 0$aAesthetics, Modern 615 0$aAesthetics, Modern 615 0$aArt and philosophy 676 $a190 700 $aBerger$b Susanna$0763106 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910162742503321 996 $aThe Art of Philosophy$92895753 997 $aUNINA
