商品描述

This book describes the international effort to give order to colours and thus facilitate communication about it, two topics deemed essential to a modernising world that were also recognizably complex. Expert essays will enhance readers' understanding of the struggle to coordinate nature with art at a time when approaches to both were undergoing rapid change. Ordering Colours shows how such seemingly trivial concerns as identifying the basic colours and disseminating appropriate colour diagrams had to meet philosophical, scientific and professional needs across Europe. Contributors detail the many schemes for colour systematization and their real-world applications; questions of concern to both academic- and manufacturing-focused investigators throughout the long 18th century. They bring together original research and new thinking about landmark early modern studies to address important developments as well as neglected historical contributions of European arts, sciences, andeconomies. This collection is an important addition to the libraries of all who are interested in public culture and manufacturing developments in the early modern period and is aimed at historians of art, technology, philosophy and physics.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書描述了國際間為顏色建立秩序的努力，從而促進對顏色的溝通，這兩個主題被認為是現代化世界中至關重要的，同時也顯得相當複雜。專家的論文將增進讀者對於在自然與藝術之間協調的掙扎的理解，尤其是在這兩者的處理方式都在迅速變化的時期。《Ordering Colours》展示了看似微不足道的問題，如識別基本顏色和傳播適當的顏色圖表，如何必須滿足整個歐洲的哲學、科學和專業需求。貢獻者詳細介紹了許多顏色系統化的方案及其在現實世界中的應用；這些問題引起了18世紀漫長時期中，專注於學術和製造的研究者的關注。他們結合了原創研究和對早期現代研究的全新思考，以探討重要的發展以及被忽視的歐洲藝術、科學和經濟的歷史貢獻。這本合集對於所有對早期現代時期的公共文化和製造發展感興趣的人來說，都是一個重要的補充，並且針對藝術、技術、哲學和物理學的歷史學家。

作者簡介

Tanja C. Kleinwächter studied history of science and technology as well as gender studies (Technische Universität and Humboldt Universität Berlin). Currently she is a PhD candidate at the Dept. for History of Science, TU Berlin. She was part of the project The Order of Colours. Colour Systems and Colour Reference Systems in 18th Century Europe, funded by German Research Foundation. Before embarking on the PhD she undertook research on Christian Friedrich Prangens der Weltweisheit und freyen Künste Magister Farbenlexicon (Interdisciplinary Centre for European Enlightenment Studies, MLU Halle, ) as well as on Circles, Triangles, and Tables: European Colour Systematization in Science, Economy, and Art from ca 1720 to ca 1810 (Dept. of History of Science, TU Berlin).

Sarah Lowengard is a historian of technology and sciences whose research focuses on practical and philosophical engagements with colour in the early modern West: Her special expertise is the materials sciences of material culture in the 18th century. An artisan colourmaker and art conservator as well as an award-winning historian, Lowengard resides in New York City.

Friedrich Steinle is Professor of History of Science at Technische Universität Berlin. His research focuses on the history and philosophy of experiment, on the history of colour research, the history of electricity, and on the dynamics of scientific concepts. His books include Newton's Manuskript 'De gravitatione' (1991) and Exploratory Experiments. Ampère, Faraday, and the origins of electrodynamics (2016). He is coeditor of Scientific concepts and investigative practice (2012, with U. Feest), Colour Histories. Science, art, and technology in the 17th and 18th centuries (2015, with M. Bushart) and of Die Farben der Klassik (2016, with M. Dönike and J. Müller-Tamm).

Sarah Lowengard 是一位技術與科學史學家，她的研究專注於早期現代西方對顏色的實踐與哲學探討：她的專長是18世紀物質文化的材料科學。作為一名工藝顏色製造商和藝術保護者，以及一位獲獎的歷史學家，Lowengard 現居紐約市。

Friedrich Steinle 是德國技術大學柏林的科學史教授。他的研究重點包括實驗的歷史與哲學、顏色研究的歷史、電學的歷史以及科學概念的動態。他的著作包括牛頓的手稿《De gravitatione》（1991年）和《探索性實驗：安培、法拉第與電動力學的起源》（2016年）。他還是《科學概念與調查實踐》（2012年，與 U. Feest 合編）、《顏色歷史：17和18世紀的科學、藝術與技術》（2015年，與 M. Bushart 合編）以及《古典的顏色》（2016年，與 M. Dönike 和 J. Müller-Tamm 合編）的共同編輯。
