商品描述
This volume provides a much needed, historically accurate narrative of the development of theories of space up to the beginning of the eighteenth century. It studies conceptions of space that were implicitly or explicitly entailed by ancient, medieval and early modern representations of the cosmos. The authors reassess Alexandre Koyr 's groundbreaking work From the Closed World to the Infinite Universe (1957) and they trace the permanence of arguments to be found throughout the Middle Ages and beyond. By adopting a long timescale, this book sheds new light on the continuity between various cosmological representations and their impact on the ontology and epistemology of space.
Readers may explore the work of a variety of authors including Aristotle, Epicurus, Henry of Ghent, John Duns Scotus, John Wyclif, Peter Auriol, Nicholas Bonet, Francisco Su rez, Francesco Patrizi, Giordano Bruno, Libert Froidmont, Marin Mersenne, Pierre Gassendi, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz and Samuel Clarke. We see how reflections on space, imagination and the cosmos were the product of a plurality of philosophical traditions that found themselves confronted with, and enriched by, various scientific and theological challenges which induced multiple conceptual adaptations and innovations.
This volume is a useful resource for historians of philosophy, those with an interest in the history of science, and particularly those seeking to understand the historical background of the philosophy of space.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
本卷提供了一個急需的、歷史上準確的敘述，描述了空間理論的發展，直到十八世紀初。它研究了古代、中世紀和早期現代宇宙觀中隱含或明示的空間概念。作者重新評估了亞歷山大·科伊爾（Alexandre Koyré）開創性的著作《從封閉的世界到無限的宇宙》（From the Closed World to the Infinite Universe，1957），並追溯了中世紀及其後時期中持久存在的論點。通過採用長期的時間尺度，本書為各種宇宙學表徵之間的連續性及其對空間本體論和認識論的影響提供了新的見解。
讀者可以探索多位作者的作品，包括亞里士多德（Aristotle）、伊比鳩魯（Epicurus）、亨利·甘特（Henry of Ghent）、約翰·邓斯·斯科圖斯（John Duns Scotus）、約翰·威克里夫（John Wyclif）、彼得·奧里奧（Peter Auriol）、尼古拉斯·博內（Nicholas Bonet）、弗朗西斯科·蘇雷斯（Francisco Suárez）、弗朗切斯科·帕特里齊（Francesco Patrizi）、喬治·布魯諾（Giordano Bruno）、利伯特·弗羅伊德蒙（Libert Froidmont）、馬林·梅爾森（Marin Mersenne）、皮埃爾·伽桑狄（Pierre Gassendi）、戈特弗里德·威廉·萊布尼茨（Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz）和塞繆爾·克拉克（Samuel Clarke）。我們看到，對空間、想像和宇宙的反思是多種哲學傳統的產物，這些傳統面對並因各種科學和神學挑戰而豐富，從而引發了多重概念的適應和創新。
本卷是哲學史學家、對科學史感興趣的人，特別是那些尋求理解空間哲學歷史背景的讀者的有用資源。

Frederik Bakker is assistant professor in the History of Philosophy and Science at Radboud University in Nijmegen. The focus of his research is on the history of ancient philosophy and science, and more specifically Epicureanism. He is also interested in the ancient poets' engagement with philosophy and science and in the modern reception of ancient scientific ideas. He has published papers on ancient doxography and on topics in ancient and medieval poetry, and recently brought out a monograph on Epicurean astronomy and meteorology (Epicurean Meteorology, Leiden: Brill 2016).
Delphine Bellis is assistant professor in the History and Philosophy of Science at Paul Valéry University in Montpellier, France. She has previously worked as postdoctoral researcher at Utrecht University, Radboud University Nijmegen, Ghent University, and the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science in Berlin. Her research interest is primarily in the history of early modern philosophy and science, in particular optics and theories of space and matter, with a focus on Descartes and Gassendi. She has published papers on Descartes, Regius, and Gassendi, and participates in the edition of Descartes' complete correspondence edited by Roger Ariew, Erik-Jan Bos, and Theo Verbeek, to be published by Oxford University Press.
