Conference: Early Modern Medicine and Natural Philosophy
Event Status:
As Scheduled
Date:
Fri, 11/02/2012 (All day) to Sun, 11/04/2012 (All day)
The aim of the conference is to bring to the fore the medical context of the ‘Scientific Revolution’ and to explore the complex connections between medicine and natural philosophy in Renaissance and Early Modern Europe. Medicine and natural philosophy interacted on many levels, from the practical imperative to restore and maintain the health of human bodies to theoretical issues on the nature of living matter and the powers of the soul to methodological concerns about the appropriate way to gain knowledge of natural things.
