Manuscripts of Natural Philosophy
This workshop is the second in a series devoted to investigating the material manifestations of intellectual pursuits across diverse philosophical disciplines. The initial session, held in Hamburg in 2023, focused on medieval manuscripts of logic within the Greek, Arabic, Hebrew, and Latin linguistic realms. It featured discussions on codicology, philology, historiography, and material analysis methodologies. In the present workshop we will shift our attention to the philosophy of nature, covering a broad spectrum that includes physics, cosmology, meteorology, medicine, psychology, and more. The primary objective is to foster a comparative dialogue aimed at uncovering the universal traits present in manuscripts pertaining to the philosophy of nature, thereby overcoming the traditional linguistic and chronological barriers typically imposed.
This workshop is co-organised with and co-funded by the ERC project HEPMASITE.
