A collection of essays from some of the world's leading
intellectual historians, representing an international spectrum of
research into the history of philosophy, intellect, science and
music. This collection of essays addresses, in specific historical
ways and from particular disciplinary standpoints, the problem of
knowledge and what used to be called the classification of the
sciences. What is, or what passes for, knowledge? What are its
divisions, and how should they be related? Who possesses this
knowledge, and to what uses has it been put? How is it transmitted,
and how can its history be understood and written? Ranging across
the epistemological barrier formed by the revolution of modern
science, these contributions inquire into the changing disciplinary
patterns of the tumultuous times between the renaissance and the
enlightenment, that saw the fragmentation of old ideals and the
creation of European modernity. Contributors: Donald R. Kelley, Ann
Blair, Paul Nelles, Constance Blackwell, Ulrich Schneider, Martin
Mulsow, J.B. Schneewind, Donald Verene, Peter Miller, Ann Moyers,
Michael Seidler, Anthony Pagden, Paula Findlen, Anthony Grafton,
Heikki Mikkeli, Nicholas Jardine, Londa Schiebinger.
