This interdisciplinary collection explores how the early modern
pursuit of knowledge in very different spheres - from Inquisitional
investigations to biblical polemics to popular healing - was
conditioned by a shared desire for certainty, and how
epistemological crises produced by the religious upheavals of early
modern Europe were also linked to the development of new scientific
methods. Questions of representation became newly fraught as the
production of knowledge increasingly challenged established
orthodoxies. The volume focuses on the social and institutional
dimensions of inquiry in light of political and cultural
challenges, while also foregrounding the Hispanic world, which has
often been left out of histories of scepticism and modernity.
Featuring essays by historians and literary scholars from Europe
and the United States, The Quest for Certainty in Early Modern
Europe reconstructs the complexity of early modern epistemological
debates across the disciplines, in a variety of cultural, social,
and intellectual locales.
