He was professor of mathematics at Jena University and is considered a key figure in the development of the mathematical sciences of the 17th Century. In particular, he is known to be the teacher of the young Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646-1716) and other notable students. These proceedings record papers presented at an international colloquium held at the Göttingen State and University Library in collaboration with the Erhard Weigel Society based in Jena on December 5-6, 2014. The colloquium was concerned with Erhard Weigel and some of his many students as well as discussed his contribution to the history of science as an excellent educator. Moreover, the colloquium dealt with the flow of impact of his methods and ideas into the scientific community, whose members played a significant role in the scientific revolution of the 17th Century. Finally, a list of known students who attended Weigel's lectures is given.

Download or read book The Cambridge Companion to Pufendorf written by Knud Haakonssen and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-11-17 with total page 443 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the same intellectual league as Grotius, Hobbes and Locke, but today less well known, Samuel Pufendorf was an early modern master of political, juridical, historical and theological thought. Trained in an erudite humanism, he brought his copious command of ancient and modern literature to bear on precisely honed arguments designed to engage directly with contemporary political and religious problems. Through his fundamental reconstruction of the discipline of natural law, Pufendorf offered a new rationale for the sovereign territorial state, providing it with non-religious foundations in order to fit it for governance of multi-religious societies and to protect his own Protestant faith. He also drew on his humanist learning to write important political histories, a significant lay theology, and vivid polemics against his many opponents. This volume makes the full scope of his thought and writing accessible to English readers for the first time.

Download or read book Fr hneuzeitliche Bildungsgeschichte der Reformierten in konfessionsvergleichender Perspektive written by Stefan Moesch and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Innerhalb der Richtungen des europäischen Protestantismus nimmt das Reformiertentum eine besondere Rolle ein, von den Anfängen Calvins in Genf, in deutschen Territorien des Alten Reiches, in Frankreich und den Niederlanden, bei den Puritanern in England, bis hin zu kleinen reformierten Minderheiten in Siebenbürgen. Die theologischen und kirchenorganisatorischen Spezifika der europäischen Reformierten haben seit über einhundert Jahren zu einer intensiven Diskussion über ihren Beitrag zur modernen Welt geführt, die heute jedoch sinnvoll nur in konsequentem Vergleich von Räumen und Kontexten fortgesetzt werden kann. Mit dem aus einer internationalen Tagung an der Johannes a Lasco-Bibliothek in Emden hervorgegangenen Sammelband wird die Bedeutung der Reformierten im frühneuzeitlichen Bildungssektor deutlich. Beteiligt sind Forscher aus Deutschland, den USA, den Niederlanden und Großbritannien. In konfessionsvergleichender Perspektive stehen zwei Fragen im Mittelpunkt: Welchen Beitrag leisteten die Reformierten zum Aufbau des frühneuzeitlichen Universitäts- und Schulwesens, der Verbindung von Schule und Katechese im Alten Reich, in den Niederlanden und den frühen Kolonien? Konfessionalistische Schulpolitik unter reformierter Staatlichkeit und identitätssichernde religiöse Unterweisung in reformierten Minderheitengemeinden verfolgten unterschiedliche praktische Wege, setzten aber gemeinsame Ziele. Im Mittelpunkt des zweiten Schwerpunkts steht die Frage nach der Besonderheit reformierter Lese- und Wissenschaftskultur. Die französische Lesekultur-Forschung wird für die Interpretation reformierter Literalität genützt und das Verhältnis von literaler und oraler Kommunikation neu bedacht. Die alte These von der Offenheit reformierter Glaubenslehren für die moderne Wissenschaft wird kritisch bewertet und die Bedeutung wissenschaftsbezogener privater Ausbildung im familiären Haushalt vermessen. Die Beiträge geben einen Einblick in methodische Neuansätze zur Erforschung der Kulturbedeutung der europäischen Reformierten, weisen aber auch auf spezifische historische Problemlagen hin, mit denen sich diese langfristig konfrontiert sahen.

Download or read book Cultural Techniques written by Bernhard Siegert and published by Fordham Univ Press. This book was released on 2015-05-01 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a crucial shift within posthumanistic media studies, Bernhard Siegert dissolves the concept of media into a network of operations that reproduce, displace, process, and reflect the distinctions fundamental for a given culture. Cultural Techniques aims to forget our traditional understanding of media so as to redefine the concept through something more fundamental than the empiricist study of a medium’s individual or collective uses or of its cultural semantics or aesthetics. Rather, Siegert seeks to relocate media and culture on a level where the distinctions between object and performance, matter and form, human and nonhuman, sign and channel, the symbolic and the real are still in the process of becoming. The result is to turn ontology into a domain of all that is meant in German by the word Kultur. Cultural techniques comprise not only self-referential symbolic practices like reading, writing, counting, or image-making. The analysis of artifacts as cultural techniques emphasizes their ontological status as “in-betweens,” shifting from firstorder to second-order techniques, from the technical to the artistic, from object to sign, from the natural to the cultural, from the operational to the representational. Cultural Techniques ranges from seafaring, drafting, and eating to the production of the sign-signaldistinction in old and new media, to the reproduction of anthropological difference, to the study of trompe-l’oeils, grids, registers, and doors. Throughout, Siegert addresses fundamental questions of how ontological distinctions can be replaced by chains of operations that process those alleged ontological distinctions within the ontic. Grounding posthumanist theory both historically and technically, this book opens up a crucial dialogue between new German media theory and American postcybernetic discourses.
