The articles in this volume of ARCHIMEDES examine particular cases
of reception' in ways that emphasize pressing historiographical and
methodological issues. Such issues arise in any consideration of
the transmission and appropriation of scientific concepts and
practices that originated in the several centers' of European
learning, subsequently to appear (often in considerably altered
guise) in regions at the European periphery. They discuss the
transfer of new scientific ideas, the mechanisms of their
introduction, and the processes of their appropriation at the
periphery. The themes that frame the discussions of the complex
relationship between the origination of ideas and their reception
include the ways in which the ideas of the Scientific Revolution
were introduced, the particularities of their expression in each
place, the specific forms of resistance encountered by these new
ideas, the extent to which such expression and resistance displays
national characteristics, the procedures through which new ways of
dealing with nature were made legitimate, and the commonalities and
differences between the methods developed by scholars for handling
scientific issues.
