Description

Ars effectiva et methodus: Polymathy and the Body in early modern science and thought

Conference folowing up on a symposium on the formation of scholarly disciplines and networks spun between Scotland and Northern Europe around the Scottish polymath Duncan Liddel (1561-1613) which was held at the University of Aberdeen 8-10 May 2013.

Following Renaissance medicine’s approach that ars medica penetrates all innermost parts of nature and combines all disciplines, from physics to cosmography to ethics, and is based on empirical observation, without recurrence to the supernatural, we need to ask how, during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, human imagination of the body and the science used to explore it contributed a new idea of the world and nature in it.
