Cycles and circulation
We invite systematic consideration of the metaphors of cycles and circulation as a long-term theme in the history of the life and environmental sciences and medicine. Ubiquitous in ancient religious and philosophical traditions, especially in representing the seasons and the motions of celestial bodies, circles once symbolized perfection. Over the centuries cyclic images in western medicine, natural philosophy, natural history and eventually biol…
Sang, hérédité et parenté au Moyen Âge
Cet article étudie la place de l’hérédité et du sang héréditaire chez deux grands penseurs du Moyen Âge, le théologien et philosophe de la nature Albert le Grand (vers 1200-1280), et le juriste Balde degli Ubaldi (m. 1400). Après avoir décrit le tournant héréditaire du xiv e siècle, avec l’émergence de plusieurs nouveaux concepts (le sang royal, la maladie héréditaire), on cherche à étudier comment des modèles biologiques pouvaient être repris po…

The article explores this paradox and provides an in-depth analysis of Urso’s highly original and hitherto ignored argument, as well as its intellectual and social background. According to U…
