ISBN10: 0226763293, ISBN13: 9780226763293, [publisher: The University of Chicago Press.] Softcover 336 Seiten Sehr guter Zustand / very good condition - The fruits of knowledge - such as books, data, and ideas - tend to generate far more attention than the ways in which knowledge is produced and acquired. Correcting this imbalance, Making Knowledge in Early Modern Europe brings together a diverse yet tightly integrated set of essays that explore how knowledge was obtained and demonstrated in Europe during an intellectually explosive four centuries, when standard methods of inquiry took shape across several fields of intellectual pursuit. -- Composed by scholars in disciplines ranging from the history of science to art history to religious studies, the pieces collected here look at the production and consumption of knowledge as a social process within many different communities. They focus, in particular, on how the methods employed by scientists and intellectuals came to interact with the practices of craftspeople and practitioners to create new ways of knowing. - CONTENTS -- List of Illustrations -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction: Knowledge and Its Making in Early Modern Europe -- PAMELA H.
