This volume presents a collection of original papers at the
intersection of philosophy, the history of science, cultural and
theatrical studies. Based on a series of case studies on the 17th
century, it contributes to an understanding of the role played by
instruments at the interface of science and art. The papers pursue
the hypothesis that the development and construction of instruments
make a substantive contribution to the opening of new fields of
knowledge, the development of new cultural practices, but also to
the delineation of particular genres, methods, and disciplines.
This perspective leads the authors to reflect anew on what actually
defines an instrument and to develop a series of basic questions to
determine what an instrument is - which actions does the instrument
incorporate? - which actions does the instrument make possible? -
when do the objects of examination themselves become instruments? -
what skills are required to use an instrument, which skills does it
produce? With its combination of new theoretical models and
historical case studies, its detailed demonstration of the mutual
influence of art and science with the instrument as the point of
intersection, this volume enters new territory. It is of great
value for all those interested in the history of our perception of
instruments. Besides the editors, the authors of the papers are:
Joerg Jochen Berns, Olaf Breidbach, Georges Didi-Huberman, Peter
Galison, Sybille Kramer, Dieter Mersch, Hans-Joerg Rheinberger,
Wilhelm Schmidt-Biggemann, and Otto Sibum.
