商品描述
Natura incognita explores the theme of the "unknown nature," offering an interdisciplinary perspective that bridges the history of science with other fields of enquiry, such as the history of philosophy, museology, environmental and animal studies.
Far from exhaustive yet remarkably rich, the volume brings a collection of previously unpublished contributions by early-career scholars that together provide an overview of current research trends in the Italian history of science community. The essays employ diverse methodologies, all rooted in a careful analysis of textual, archival, material, and visual sources from which local and global stories of science emerge. These contributions were originally presented at the Early Career Conference of the Italian Society for the History of Science (Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn - Naples, September 6-8, 2023), and cover a wide range of scientific fields, from botany to zoology, medicine to mental sciences, physics to earth sciences, with a particular focus on the tools and techniques used in the study of nature. The timeframe is broad, taking the reader on a journey from antiquity through the early modern era and well into the 20th century. Overall, the book highlights how the production of new scientific knowledge and practices results from a sustained, long-standing interest in the natural world.
Scholars and students interested in the evolving landscape of the history of science will find this reading an illuminating resource.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
《未知的自然》探討了「未知的自然」主題,提供了一個跨學科的視角,將科學史與其他研究領域如哲學史、博物館學、環境與動物研究相連結。這本書雖然不是全面的,但內容相當豐富,匯集了早期職業學者的多篇未發表貢獻,這些貢獻共同提供了意大利科學史社群當前研究趨勢的概覽。這些論文採用了多樣的方法論,均根植於對文本、檔案、材料和視覺來源的仔細分析,從中浮現出地方與全球的科學故事。這些貢獻最初是在意大利科學史學會的早期職業會議上發表的(安東·多恩動物站 - 那不勒斯,2023年9月6日至8日),涵蓋了從植物學到動物學、醫學到心理科學、物理學到地球科學等廣泛的科學領域,特別關注於研究自然所使用的工具和技術。時間範圍廣泛,帶領讀者從古代穿越到早期現代,並深入20世紀。整體而言,這本書強調了新科學知識和實踐的產生是源於對自然世界持久而深厚的興趣。對於對科學史不斷演變的景觀感興趣的學者和學生來說,這本書將是一個啟發性的資源。
