This crucial intervention in political epistemology offers a comprehensive discussion of the multiple applicability of Gramscian concepts and categories to the historical, sociological, and cultural analysis of science. The authors argue that the perspective of hegemony and subalternity allows us to critically assess the political directedness of scientific practices as well as to reflect on the ideological status of disciplines that deal with science at a meta-level – historical, socio-historical, and epistemological.Contributors include: Massimiliano Badino, Javier Balsa, Lino Camprubí, Ana Carneiro, Luís Miguel Carolino, Riccardo Ciavolella, Roger Cooter, Alina-Sandra Cucu, Maria Paula Diogo, Isabel Jiménez Lucena, Annelies Lannoy, Jorge Molero Mesa, Agustí Nieto-Galan, Pietro Daniel Omodeo, Matteo Realdi, Jaume Sastre-Juan, Arne Schirrmacher, Ana Simões, Carlos Tabernero Holgado, and Carlos Ziller Camenietzki.

This book is an investigation of the ideological dimensions of the disciplinary discourses on science in line with the scholarly tradition of historical epistemology. It offers a programmatic treatment of the political-epistemological problematic along three entangled lines of inquiry: socio-historical, epistemological and historiographical. The book aims for a meta-level integration of the existing scholarship on the social and cultural history of science in order to consider the ways in which struggles for hegemony have constantly informed scientific discourses. This problematic is of primary relevance for scholars in Science Studies, philosophers, historians and sociologists of science, but would also be relevant for anybody interested in scientific culture and political theory.

Contingency and Natural Order in Early Modern Science

Inbunden, Engelska, 2019

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar

This volume considers contingency as a historical category resulting from the combination of various intellectual elements – epistemological, philosophical, material, as well as theological and, broadly speaking, intellectual. With contributions ranging from fields as diverse as the histories of physics, astronomy, astrology, medicine, mechanics, physiology, and natural philosophy, it explores the transformation of the notion of contingency across the late-medieval, Renaissance, and the early modern period. Underpinned by a necessitated vision of nature, seventeenth century mechanism widely identified apparent natural irregularities with the epistemological limits of a certain explanatory framework. However, this picture was preceded by, and in fact emerged from, a widespread characterization of contingency as an ontological trait of nature, typical of late-Scholastic and Renaissance science. On these bases, this volume shows how epistemological categories, which are preconditions of knowledge as “historically-situated a priori” and, seemingly, self-evident, are ultimately rooted in time.Contingency is intrinsic to scientific practice. Whether observing the behaviour of a photon, diagnosing a patient, or calculating the orbit of a distant planet, scientists face the unavoidable challenge of dealing with data that differ from their models and expectations. However, epistemological categories are not fixed in time. Indeed, there is something fundamentally different in the way an Aristotelian natural philosopher defined a wonder or a “monstrous” birth as “contingent”, a modern scientist defines the unexpected result of an experiment, and a quantum physicist the behavior of a photon. Although to each inquirer these instances appeared self-evidently contingent, each also employs the concept differently.

This volume addresses questions in the history of science and allied disciplines, about the inseparable relation between science and politics. Cases presented in the book shed light on the political conditions, orientation and the consequences of science. Together, they articulate frames of inquiry in historical-political epistemology. Situated in the early modern historical context, the volume draws attention to different political factors which shaped scientific practices and their ideologies. Given the contested historiographies of the scientific revolution, the critical approach of this volume offers an invitation for further historical inquiries on the practices and politics of science.

In Copernicus in the Cultural Debates of the Renaissance, Pietro Daniel Omodeo presents a general overview of the reception of Copernicus’s astronomical proposal from the years immediately preceding the publication of De revolutionibus (1543) to the Roman prohibition of heliocentric hypotheses in 1616. Relying on a detailed investigation of early modern sources, the author systematically examines a series of issues ranging from computation to epistemology, natural philosophy, theology and ethics. In addition to offering a pluralistic and interdisciplinary perspective on post-Copernican astronomy, the study goes beyond purely cosmological and geometrical issues and engages in a wide-ranging discussion of how Copernicus’s legacy interacted with European culture and how his image and theories evolved as a result.

This volume is devoted to the natural philosopher Bernardino Telesio (1509-1588) and his place in the scientific debates of the Renaissance. Telesio’s thought is emblematic of Renaissance culture in its aspiration towards universality; the volume deals with the roots and reception of his vistas from an interdisciplinary perspective ranging from the history of philosophy to that of physics, astronomy, meteorology, medicine, and psychology. The editor, Pietro Daniel Omodeo and leading specialists of intellectual history introduce Telesio’s conceptions to English-speaking historians of science through a series of studies, which aim to foster our understanding of a crucial early modern author, his world, achievement, networks, and influence.Contributors are Roberto Bondì, Arianna Borrelli, Rodolfo Garau, Giulia Giannini, Miguel Ángel Granada, Hiro Hirai, Martin Mulsow, Elio Nenci, Pietro Daniel Omodeo, Nuccio Ordine, Alessandro Ottaviani, Jürgen Renn, Riccarda Suitner, and Oreste Trabucco.

Architecture is often seen as the creation of the architect alone. However, architecture is a collaborative endeavour involving diverse professionals, from urban planners, building designers and construction labourers to restoration architects, repair workers and maintenance staff.

Preserving built heritage depends on stewardship a shared responsibility that involves caring for and steering the future of common goods. In the built environment, stewardship goes beyond maintaining structures to include decisions about access, future use, and redistribution.

The Pavilion of Finland in Venices Giardini della Biennale Park stands as a testament to this. Originally designed as a temporary structure by Alvar Aalto and his office for the 1956 International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia, the delicate wooden building has become a permanent monument. This wouldnt be possible without continuous maintenance and repair.

By recounting the Pavilions history, this book illustrates that buildings are not static objects but dynamic processes influenced by human actions, global politics and non-human forces. The title, Architecture of Stewardship, proposes that adopting practices of stewardship enables the architectural profession to respond to the urgent need for change in our built environment with accountability to communities, future generations, the planet, and other species that inhabit it.

The collection of essays offers perspectives on stewardship from a range of Finnish and Italian contributors in academia, practice, and activism. The texts explore how people have stewarded land, resources, and communities throughout the Pavilions history and its Venetian context, and how these insights might inspire a different way to approach our built environment. The book is published in conjunction with the Pavilion of Finlands exhibition at the 19th International Architecture Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia, running from 10 May to 23 November 2025. The editors of the book, architects Ella Kaira and Matti Jänkälä, curated the exhibition, The Pavilion Architecture of Stewardship, commissioned and produced by Archinfo Information Centre for Finnish Architecture.
