Science and Medicine in the Scottish Enlightenment

Author: Charles W. J. Withers
Publisher: Birlinn Limited
ISBN: UOM:39015055608221
Release Date: 2002
Genre: History

Writing to Dugald Stewart in June 1789, Thomas Jefferson enthused that as far as science was concerned, no place in the world can pretend to a competition with Edinburgh. Yet, despite similar encomiums down the years, the role of the natural sciences and medicine in the Scottish Enlightenment is still neither generally appreciated nor fully understood. This collection of ten essays by scholars in the field provides a comprehensive overview of the place of scientific and medical enquiry in Scotland during the period 1690-1815. Each chapter presents new research in order to reflect upon previous interpretations and to suggest fresh perspectives on the relationship between science and medicine and culture and society in 18th-century Scotland. Collectively, the essays illustrate both the centrality of natural and medical knowledge in enlightened culture and the wider implications of Scotland's story for an understanding of science and medicine in the modern world.

In January, give gifts of warm honey cake to banish darkness, instill good will, and bring about harmonious relationships. Honor Bacchus, the god of March, and Liberalia with a rustic wine tasting, and celebrate Venus, the goddess of April, with a sensuous bath brimming with floating rose petals. Remember the fate of Adonis in July with celebrations of renewal, or design a sacred landscape in your garden with fountains, bells, altars, and blossoming flowers to please the goddess Flora.With poetry, wisdom, and historical insight, Frances Bernstein offers Roman traditions and rituals for modern spiritual practice, making Classical Living an inviting source to treasure throughout the year.

It provides detailed information to the reader on the who's, what's, why's, how's and wherefore's of the Roman deities and provides a solid reference base for you to incorporate them into your daily life and personal religious practices. It provides the reader with a comprehensive listing of documented prayers from antiquity on many different topics, gathered together in one place by deity, and provides a separate section for you to construct and record your own prayers to the divine.

Each person was responsible for doing their part, whatever that part was. As Symmachus believed, religious ideals, beliefs and practices varied among all individuals, just as it did with cities, and that there were many pathways to the divine. We all look up and see the same skies and same stars, the same sun and moon govern our days and nights, and we all experience and walk through the same countryside. As we all seek the divine, it matters not which pathway we follow, but that we follow a pathway. THANK YOU for shopping with us.

La nature du monde

Author: Jean Robert Armogathe
Publisher:
ISBN: 2130562310
Release Date: 2007
Genre: Philosophy

À partir de l'imbrication constitutive de la physique et de la théologie à l'époque moderne, cette étude sur la nature du monde considère le mythe d'une science moderne émancipée, qui s'opposerait à la théologie. Si la science nouvelle se présente en effet à l'aube de l'Age classique comme une herméneutique du monde physique, elle ne se substitue pas à l'exégèse biblique : elle ne cesse au contraire de s'y confronter et d'emprunter ses modèles heuristiques à la théologie. Cette constante fondamentale connaît des formes multiples et buissonnantes : il fallait décrire la circulation des concepts, analyser les effets de transfert d'un champ à un autre, repérer les paradigmes théologiques de la science nouvelle - et, inversement, évaluer les enjeux en théologie des théories scientifiques. Décrivant un siècle et demi - de Mélanchthon (1550) aux Boyle Lectures (1691), via Galilée et Descartes, c'est-à-dire passant de la recherche d'une physica christiana à celle d'une religio philosophica, via une theologia cartesiana -, cette enquête privilégie les lieux cruciaux : la cosmologie, l'empyrée, le vide, la mesure du temps et la durée angélique, l'arc-en-ciel ou la physique eucharistique. L'examen des matrices théologiques de la science moderne révèle ainsi un Grand Siècle différent et inédit.
