Trois couleurs ? Enlightenment Visions of Colours
Au tournant du XVIII e siècle, le développement de l’impression en couleur s’est fait parallèlement à la compréhension trichromatique du mélange des couleurs par les artistes. À la même époque, la théorie des couleurs de Newton s’est imposée, aussi bien dans les milieux savants qu’artistiques. Les divergences entre les deux théories ont souvent été ignorées ou n’ont pas été reconnues, mais elles sont restées présentes tout au long du siècle des L…
Media and Mediation in the Eighteenth Century
While eighteenth-century print media in essence rested on the same technical apparatus as in previous centuries - letterpress printing, woodcuts, and intaglio prints - the growth in quantity created a media revolution. The effect was a qualitative shift in terms of literacy, growth of newspapers, the spread of images and distribution of knowledge, but also of misinformation and propaganda. In this volume eight scholars from three continents inves…
Rethinking Stevin, Stevin Rethinking: Constructions of a Dutch Polymath
This book studies the Dutch mathematician Simon Stevin (1548-1620) as a new type of ‘man of knowledge’. Traditionally, Stevin is best known for his contributions to the ‘Archimedean turn’. This innovative volume moves beyond this conventional image by bringing many other aspects of his work into view, by analysing the connections between the multiple strands of his thinking and by situating him in a broader European context. Like other multi-tale…
Mathematical Practitioners and the Transformation of Natural Knowledge in Early Modern Europe
Understandings of Colors: Varieties of Theories in the Color Worlds of the Early Seventeenth Century
In the early seventeenth century, there existed a myriad of theories to account for color phenomena. The status, goal, and content of such accounts differed as well as the range of phenomena they explained. Starting with the journal of Isaac Beeckman (1588–1637), this essay inquires into the features and functions of conceptual reflections upon color experiences. Beeckman played a crucial role in the intellectual development of René Descartes (15…

Lenses and Waves: Christiaan Huygens and the Mathematical Science of Optics in the Seventeenth Century
In 1690, Christiaan Huygens (1629-1695) published Traité de la Lumière, containing his renowned wave theory of light. It is considered a landmark in seventeenth-century science, for the way Huygens mathematized the corpuscular nature of light and his probabilistic conception of nature knowledge. This book discusses the development of Huygens' wave theory, reconstructing the winding road that eventually led to Traité de la Lumière. For the first t…
