    • Giovanni Battista Benedetti is recognized as a brilliant mathematical and philosophical mind of the late Italian Renaissance, yet the significance of his work remains largely obscure. This is largely due to the rarity of his major work, Diversarum speculationum mathematicarum et physicarum liber (Book of various mathematical and physical speculations), published in Turin in 1585. This work significantly contributed to Renaissance science, offering insights into mechanics, the mathematical approach to natural investigation, and the relationship between celestial and terrestrial dynamics from a post-Copernican perspective. The first edition, an elegant folio, encompasses a variety of writings on mathematics, physics, and technical and philosophical issues, presented as short treatises or letters to a diverse audience, including scholars and practitioners. The work celebrated the court's intellectual achievements and highlighted the cultural debates of Turin and its connections to other centers, particularly Venice. This open access edition brings Benedetti's work to a broader scholarly audience, showcasing his complex contributions. His work illustrates the non-linear historical process of Renaissance science, emphasizing geometry's foundational role. Benedetti viewed mechanics as a model while exploring various fields, demonstrating the applicability of his approach to universal knowledge, astronomy, physics, meteorology, and e

    • Der frühneuzeitliche Aristotelismus kann als eine dynamische Wissenstradition beschrieben werden, die durch institutionelle und intellektuelle Neukontextualisierungen, durch Tradierung und Transfer ständig umgestaltet und transformiert wird, gleichzeitig sich aber weiterhin als ein Wissen versteht, das sich im Wesentlichen aus dem Kanon des aristotelischen Corpus ableitet. Im Mittelpunkt des Sammelbandes steht das Verhältnis dieses frühneuzeitlichen Aristotelismus zum neuen, aus Beobachtung und Experiment abgeleiteten Wissen von der Natur, wie es in dem Zeitraum von ca. 1550 bis 1650 in den diesen einzudringen und ihn zu verändern beginnt. Dieses neue Wissen von der Natur umfasst gleichermaßen Astrologie, Astronomie, Medizin, Psychologie, (Al-)Chemie, Physik und Biologie, aber auch die Methodologie, das heißt die Logik, Argumentations- und Wissenschaftstheorie in ihrer Anwendung auf das naturphilosophische Wissen. Der Aristotelismus erweist sich dabei keinesfalls als normiertes und unbewegliches System, sondern reagiert etwa auf die Herausforderungen des Paracelsismus oder später des Cartesianismus, genauso wie er auch schon auf die methodologischen Herausforderungen des Ramismus reagiert hat.
