商品描述
This book offers the first thorough-going account of the covert manuscript dissemination of a pivotal text in the history of early modern philosophy and science, namely the Traité de l'homme by René Descartes, completed in 1633 but published in printed form only in 1662 and 1664. This account serves as both introduction to and commentary upon the following transcription of a Latin handwritten translation of the treatise (Tractatus de homine a Cartesio) recently brought to the attention of scholars, and which was integral to such dissemination. Included is an apparatus of variants with respect to its first editions. Importantly, during its first dissemination the treatise fostered the development of medical theories based on mechanical ideas and is now increasingly at the centre of the attention of historians, thanks to the renewed appreciation of Descartes as a scientist rather than as a metaphysician. By developing an investigation taking into account not only professors and scientists, but also the importance of women, courtiers, publishers, soldiers, and the covert circulation of knowledge in the early modern age, this book contributes to the knowledge of scholars, students, and anybody interested in the early modern history of philosophy, science, intellectual history, and the history of the book in a crucial phase of the development of western thought.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
本書提供了對於早期現代哲學和科學歷史中一部關鍵文本的秘密手稿傳播的首次全面記錄，該文本即為勒內·笛卡爾於1633年完成的《人論》（Traité de l'homme），但直到1662年和1664年才以印刷形式出版。本書的記錄同時作為對於隨後拉丁文手寫翻譯（Tractatus de homine a Cartesio）的介紹和評論，該翻譯最近引起學者的注意，並且對於這種傳播至關重要。書中還包含了與其初版相關的變異資料。重要的是，在其首次傳播期間，該論文促進了基於機械思想的醫學理論的發展，並且隨著對笛卡爾作為科學家的重新評價，而非僅僅作為形而上學家，現在越來越受到歷史學家的關注。本書通過考察不僅是教授和科學家，還包括女性、宮廷人士、出版商、士兵以及早期現代知識的秘密流通，為學者、學生以及任何對早期現代哲學、科學、知識史和書籍歷史感興趣的人提供了重要的知識，這一時期是西方思想發展的關鍵階段。
作者簡介
Andrea Strazzoni, Ph.D. (Erasmus University Rotterdam, 2015), is a researcher and a lecturer in the history of science and technology at the University of Turin and Marie-Curie alumnus at the Ca' Foscari University of Venice. He has held research positions in Germany and Switzerland and published monographs in the history of philosophy and science such as Dutch Cartesianism and the Birth of Philosophy of Science (De Gruyter, 2018), Burchard de Volder and the Age of the Scientific Revolution (Springer, 2019), and The Quarrel over Swammerdam's Posthumous Works (Brill, 2023). He has in particular explored the history and mutual relations of early modern philosophy and (experimental) science, the dissemination of Cartesian manuscript sources (in particular, handwritten commentaries on Descartes's works), the uses of Descartes's ideas in medicine, and the emergence of philosophical hermeneutics and philosophy of language in the seventeenth century. He is now pursuing research on the relations between science and technology in early modern and modern northwestern Italy.
