Paperback. Etat : New. Reframing Aristotle's natural philosophy, this wide-ranging collection of essays reveals the centrality of magic to his thinking. From late medieval and Renaissance discussions on the attribution of magical works to Aristotle to the philosophical and social justifications of magic, international contributors chart magic as the mother science of natural philosophy. Tracing the nascent presence of Aristotelianism in early modern Europe, this volume shows the adaptability and openness of Aristotelianism to magic. Weaving the paranormal and the scientific together, it pairs the supposed superstition of the pre-modern era with modern scientific sensibilities. Essays focus on the work of early modern scholars and magicians such as Giambattista Della Porta, Wolferd Senguerd, and Johann Nikolaus Martius. The attribution of the Secretum secretorum to Aristotle, the role of illusionism, and the relationship between the technical and magical all provide further insight into the complex picture of magic, Aristotle and early modern Europe. Aristotelianism and Magic in Early Modern Europe proposes an innovative way of approaching the development of pre-modern science whilst also acknowledging the crucial role that concepts like magic and illusion played in Aristotle's time.…

Brossura. Etat : new. English Text.Sarzana, 2022; paperback, pp. 214, cm 16,5x23,5. The aim of this volume is to probe the complexities surrounding the idea of "magic" in the early modern period through the specific lens of materials. This collection draws inspiration from a set of papers presented as a double panel, titled "Magical Materials," at the Renaissance Society of America's Virtual Conference in the spring of 2021. The essays address magical materials from an interdisciplinary perspective with topics that draw upon learned and popular forms of philosophy, literature, and art. The authors touch on different geographic and linguistic fields (Greek, Arabic, Hebrew, Latin, and the nascent European vernacular languages). By addressing specific examples of magical materials, the essays provide a glimpse into how philosophers, artists, playwrights, and everyday individuals in Europe made sense of the terrestrial/celestial, natural/supernatural, and legendary/real worlds of magic. The studies cross a large diachronic space, from the fourteenth century to the first half of the seventeenth century, revealing the numerous faces of magic in this kaleidoscopic era. Libro.…

Brossura. Etat : new. Sarzana, 2017; br., pp. 174, ill. (Dellaportiana. Studi e Testi di Filosofia Naturale. 1). Giovan Battista Della Porta (1535-1615) è uno dei protagonisti più rappresentativi della cultura filosofica e scientifica rinascimentale. Nato a Vico Equense (per alcuni a Napoli) è il primo ascritto all'Accademia dei Lincei. Si distingue ben presto per i suoi studi di ottica, di fisiognomica e di magia naturale, raggiungendo risultati di gran pregio anche sul versante del teatro. In un passo del "Del senso delle cose e della magia", rievocando i termini di una pubblica disputa con Della Porta, Tommaso Campanella (1568-1639) rivolge al filosofo campano una critica assai dura, accusandolo di essersi approcciato al mondo naturale e ai suoi 'segreti' con metodo meramente descrittivo. Stanno veramente così le cose? Prendendo le mosse da questo celeberrimo episodio della biografia dei due pensatori, il libro ricostruisce l'effettiva posizione di Della Porta circa il tema degli 'occulti segreti della natura', approfondendo i rapporti che essa intrattiene con le riflessioni coeve sulla logica e l'astrologia.
