Princess Elisabeth’s Cautions and Descartes’ Suppression of the Traité de l’Homme
Why did Descartes not publish his chief physiology work during his lifetime? Descartes considered that the physiological and medical conclusions that could be drawn from his philosophy were fundamental to his intellectual project, and an apparently complete work was circulating among friends in 1641 but was only published more than a decade after his death, as De Homine (1662) and Traité de l’Homme (1664). This paper argues that Princess Elisabet…

Michiel van Groesen. Amsterdam’s Atlantic
Michiel van Groesen has large worlds in view. Through an exploration of reports about Dutch Brazil appearing from Amsterdam’s lively printing industry—the “public Atlantic” of the seventeenth century (10)—he can see how accounts of events had “the capacity to dominate public debate in Europe” (189). Newsprints were a relatively new innovation, and the public debate spurred by them in turn shaped public opinion, which “occasionally governed” the U…
Sciences and Economies in the Scientific Revolution
Debates about the nature of the so-called Scientific Revolution can be treated as a touchstone describing many of the fundamental changes in the field of the history of science. The establishment of the history and philosophy of science in the second half of the twentieth century occurred at a time when leading academic scientists among the victorious Western allies were intent on keeping the sciences apart from direct political and economic enta…
Matters of Exchange
In this wide-ranging and stimulating book, a leading authority on the history of medicine and science presents convincing evidence that Dutch commerce not religion inspired the rise of science in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Harold J. Cook scrutinizes a wealth of historical documents relating to the study of medicine and natural history in the Netherlands and elsewhere in Europe, Brazil, South Africa, and Asia during this era, and his…
Problems with the Word Made Flesh
The Great Tradition of writing about what came to be called The Scientific Revolution developed in the mid-twentieth century and helped to shape what came to be termed “early modern” Europe. At least two fundamental structural elements of the framework were that a small group of independent minds had been set free to grasp new truths, and that rivalries among many groups in Europe never allowed “European civilization” to achieve homeostasis, thus…

Moving About and Finding Things Out
One of the most common arguments about science is that it leads to economic development; it is also commonly argued that the rise of science was a critical factor in the rise of the modern economy. This article explores that theme from the viewpoint of the history of northwestern Europe in the early modern period, arguing that rather than either “economy” or “science” producing the other, they were coproduced. Institutional forms of organization …
Markets and Cultures
The history of the body is of course contested territory. Postmodern interpretations in particular have moved it from a history of scientific knowledge of its structure and function toward histories of the various meanings, identities and experiences constructed about it. Underlying such interpretations have been large and important claims about the unfortunate consequences of the rise of a political economy associated with capitalism and medical…
The History of Medicine and the Scientific Revolution
The "new philosophy" of the seventeenth century has continued to be explained mainly on its own terms: as a major philosophical turn. Twentieth-century modernism gave pride of place to big ideas and reinforced the tendency to explain the rise of science in light of new ideas. Such orientations subordinated medicine (and technology) to sciences that appeared to be more theoretical. In attempts to persuade historians of science of the importance of…
Borderlands
[Graphic][1] Medical Humanities has developed as an important pedagogical ideal, although it is not a research field, at least not yet. Anyone with clinical, administrative, or personal responsibilities for other people is well aware of a duty of care requiring judgement. Judgement is an attribute applying as much to values as to knowledge, an ability to take appropriate decisions attuned to circumstances of person, context and moment. What one k…

While histories of public health sugggest that government intervention British is a product of the later nineteenth country, the work of George Rosen suggested that interventionist policies on behalf of the public good are to be associated with particular political outlooks.

Body and Passions
A group of works written in the mid-seventeenth-century Netherlands shows many defenders of commerce and republicanism embracing some of the most unsettling tenets of the new and experimental philosophy. Their political arguments were based on a view consonant with Cartesianism, in which the body and its passions for the most part dominate reason, instead of the prevailing idea that reason could and should dominate the passions and through them t…

Transfer of Prior Learning to Verbal Instruction
Using a proactive model of transfer of learning, two hypotheses were tested about how specific, experimentally induced differences in prior instruction determine the results of subsequent verbal instruction. In an experiment, 352 children from inner city schools in Los Angeles were individually randomly assigned to six treatments and individually taught and tested. The results supported the two hypotheses about transfer, indicating that transfer …
