Vaincre la dissidence à l’aube de l’époque moderne, et la politique de Montaigne
Cette communication a pour but de révéler la dissidence et ses pratiques, d’abord dans le contexte de la théologie et des structures autoritaires de cette discipline, puis dans celui des stratégies adoptées par d’autres disciplines pour composer avec l’autorité, et la modifier par les arts herméneutiques, par la « ratio » et par l’« experientia ». Les deux parties de cette communication finiront par évoquer les dires de Montaigne dans ce domaine
Episodes in the Life of the Early Modern Learned Book
In Episodes in the Life of the Early Modern Learned Book, Ian Maclean investigates intellectual life through the prism of the history of publishing, academic institutions, journals, and the German book fairs whose evolution is mapped over the long seventeenth century. After a study of the activities of Italian book merchants up to 1621, the passage into print, both locally and internationally, of English and Italian medicine and 'new' science com…

La querelle des femmes en France et en Angleterre de 1615 à 1632: Conjoncture et structures
Cette étude s’intéresse aux conditions matérielles et au contexte social et religieux de la querelle littéraire provoquée par L’Alphabet de l’imperfection et malice des femmes , publié en 1617. Il apparaît entre autres que la demande des lecteurs parisiens fut suffisamment élevée pour absorber toutes les publications de part et d’autre du débat. Les deux parties, représentées respectivement par les libraires du palais et ceux de la rue Saint-Jacq…

The Logic of Physiognomony in the Late Renaissance
This article studies the advances made in the logic of Renaissance physiognomy from the state of the subject in antiquity and the Middle Ages. The properties and accidents of the human body are investigated in the context of the signs selected by physiognomers, whether univocal or in syndromes, strong or weak in character, negative or positive, consistent with each other or contradictory. When these signs are translated into propositions, the con…

Girolamo Cardano: The last years of a polymath
In spite of repeated assurances to his readers that he had given up new projects and would devote himself to polishing and revising writings that had not yet been printed, Girolamo Cardano continued to produce works up to his death in 1576 or 1577. Many of these were composed during his time as a medical professor in Bologna (1562–70); a smaller number were written after his imprisonment by the Inquisition in 1570, and his subsequent move to Rome…
The "Sceptical Crisis" Reconsidered: Galen, Rational Medicine and the Libertas Philosophandi
This paper reassesses the role of sceptical thinking in the emergence of the new science of the seventeenth century, in the context of the seminal but contestable History of Scepticism by Richard Popkin. It investigates the anti-sceptical essay by Galen De optimo modo docendi (on the best method of teaching), which was retranslated in the sixteenth century by Erasmus and later published as an adjunct to the works of Sextus Empiricus, in order to …
Heterodoxy in early modern science and religion
"The separation of science and religion in modern secular culture can easily obscure the fact that in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Europe ideas about nature were intimately related to ideas about God. Readers of this book will find fresh and exciting accounts of a phenomenon common to both science and religion: deviation from orthodox belief. How is heterodoxy to be measured? How might the scientific heterodoxy of particular thinkers imping…
Evidence, Logic, the Rule and the Exception in Renaissance Law and Medicine
This article sets out to investigate aspects of the uptake of Renaissance law and medicine from some of the logical and natural-philosophical components of the university arts course. Medicine is shown to have a much laxer operative logic than law, reflecting its commitment to the theory of idiosyncrasy as opposed to the demands made upon the law by the need for a uniform application of justice. Symptomatic of the different uptake arc the contras…

Woman and The Devil in Sixteenth-Century Literature; The Renaissance Notion of Woman. A Study in the Fortunes of Scholasticism and Medical Sciences in European Intellectual Life
At its best, scholarly analysis that focuses on women can illuminate an entire area of study and enrich it by revealing details and patterns that were not brought to light by other approaches; at its worst, it becomes so preoccupied with the "woman" question as defined by any given author as to ignore other aspects of the problem at hand, revealing little about women or anything else
The Renaissance Notion of Woman: A Study in the Fortunes of Scholasticism and Medical Science in European Intellectual Life
This study of the world of scholarship and scholarly texts in the Renaissance, the so-called respublica literaria, affords insights into the intellectual infrastructure and modes of thought of the period by its examination of contemporary attitudes towards women. It addresses the questions: What is the notion of woman to be found in Renaissance texts, and how does it evolve? What is the relationship between the notion of woman and that of sex dif…
