Description - Method and Order in Renaissance Philosophy of Nature by Daniel A. Di Liscia

This volume collects together the proceedings of a seminar looking at method in 16th-century Aristotle commentaries. The papers begin with the theory of "regressus" as displayed by William Wallace, and broaden out to encompass the historical and systematical context of Renaissance theory, leading to a scholarly approach not restricted to concepts, ages or authorities. Thus, besides Galileo, Zabarella and their circles, which are regarded as crucial for the "emergence of modern science" at the end of the 16th century, the papers deal with the ancient and medieval origins, as well as early modern continuity of the Renaissance concepts of method with "non-regressive" methodologies in the various approaches to Renaissance natural philosophy, including the Lutheran and Calvinist traditions.
