Book excerpt: Leonardo nasconde un segreto? In realtà ne nasconde molti, basta cercare nelle pagine dei suoi codici, nelle migliaia di disegni di macchine o di parti di esse che quei codici contengono. Misteri e segreti che in questo libro vengono alla luce nella loro realtà progettuale. Dalle descrizioni e dai disegni dello scienziato, attraverso la rielaborazione digitale riemergono nella loro compiutezza e funzionalità imbarcazioni corazzate, argani e macchinari destinati al volo, alla guerra, al lavoro, alle imprese idrauliche. Un'operazione di ricostruzione virtuale che ha richiesto anni di studi e di applicazione e ha ottenuto il risultato di rendere accessibili le invenzioni nascoste tra le pagine dei codici leonardeschi.

Download or read book Leonardo s Lost Robots written by Mark Rosheim and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-06-15 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reinterprets Leonardo da Vinci's mechanical design work, revealing a new level of sophistication not recognized by art historians or engineers. The book reinterprets Leonardo's legacy of notes, showing that apparently unconnected fragments from dispersed manuscripts actually comprise cohesive designs for functioning automata. Using the rough sketches scattered throughout almost all of Leonardo's notebooks, the author has reconstructed Leonardo's programmable cart, which was the platform for other automata. Through a readable, lively narrative, the author explains how he reconstructed da Vinci's designs.
Download or read book Descartes s Mathematical Thought written by C. Sasaki and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Covering both the history of mathematics and of philosophy, Descartes's Mathematical Thought reconstructs the intellectual career of Descartes most comprehensively and originally in a global perspective including the history of early modern China and Japan. Especially, it shows what the concept of "mathesis universalis" meant before and during the period of Descartes and how it influenced the young Descartes. In fact, it was the most fundamental mathematical discipline during the seventeenth century, and for Descartes a key notion which may have led to his novel mathematics of algebraic analysis.
Download or read book The Temple of the Soul written by Leonardo and published by CB Edizioni. This book was released on 2008 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The choice of the sheets of Windsor, with the addition of five sheets from other collections, is motivated by a chronological outline that offers a synthetic summary of the results achieved by Leonardo in almost thirty years of assiduous researches in the fields of anatomy and physiology. The selection emphasizes how these researches can be ascribed to the influence of anatomy teaching from the Middle Ages up to the time of Leonardo, particularly in Bologna and with protagonists that range from Mondinus to Zerbi and from Achillini to Berengarius. It is the first time that these scientific studies are considered, compiling a catalogue, with particular attention to the relationship that they have with the artistic theories of Leonardo.
Download or read book La solitudine di Leonardo written by Luigi Borzacchini and published by EDIZIONI DEDALO. This book was released on 2019-02-26 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In una linea del tempo, Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) si colloca proprio al centro del Rinascimento, al confine tra il Medioevo e l’èra moderna, a cavallo tra Quattrocento e Cinquecento. In passato Leonardo è stato spesso esaltato come precursore della scienza moderna, ma nell’ultimo secolo la maggior parte degli studiosi ha ridimensionato il suo ruolo di scienziato, salvando solo l’artista sublime. Alcuni lo hanno considerato soltanto un abilissimo osservatore e inventore un po’ velleitario, altri, invece, lo hanno presentato come l’emblema romantico di una conoscenza unitaria e impermeabile alle specializzazioni. Ma cos’ha significato davvero per la scienza? È possibile recuperare uno sguardo nuovo sulla scienza moderna analizzando i caratteri essenziali di Leonardo nella meccanica, ingegneria, matematica e nelle scienze naturali? La scienza moderna, nata con la Rivoluzione Scientifica, emergerà un secolo dopo, ma su di essa si apre, per primo, lo sguardo solitario di Leonardo, colui che scriveva «se sarai solo, sarai tutto tuo». E anche se nessun teorema o legge porta il suo nome, la figura di Leonardo come “scienziato” rappresenta un vero unicum, segno che la storia si muove in modo molto più folle di quanto vorrebbero gli storici.

Download or read book Catastrophizing written by Gerard Passannante and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2019-03-25 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When we catastrophize, we think the worst. We make too much of too little, or something of nothing. Yet what looks simply like a bad habit, Gerard Passannante argues, was also a spur to some of the daring conceptual innovations and feats of imagination that defined the intellectual and cultural history of the early modern period. Reaching back to the time between the Renaissance and the Enlightenment, Passannante traces a history of catastrophizing through literary and philosophical encounters with materialism—the view that the world is composed of nothing but matter. As artists, poets, philosophers, and scholars pondered the physical causes and material stuff of the cosmos, they conjured up disasters out of thin air and responded as though to events that were befalling them. From Leonardo da Vinci’s imaginative experiments with nature’s destructive forces to the fevered fantasies of doomsday astrologers, from the self-fulfilling prophecies of Shakespeare’s tragic characters to the mental earthquakes that guided Kant toward his theory of the sublime, Passannante shows how and why the early moderns reached for disaster when they ventured beyond the limits of the sensible. He goes on to explore both the danger and the critical potential of thinking catastrophically in our own time.

Book excerpt: A genius for all time, Leonardo da Vinci contributed artistic masterpieces, spectacular inventions, and scientific research to Western culture. This beautifully illustrated volume reconstructs the origin of one of the most fascinating and fundamental aspects of Leonardo's life and work: his dream of human flight. With masterfully reproduced drawings from his vast library of manuscripts and folios—especially from the Codex "On the Flight of Birds" and the Codex "Atlanticus"—this book traces the development of Leonardo's theories and experiments over time. Detailed descriptions and unique readings of these exquisite sketches, letters, and notes reveal the inner workings of the artist-scientist. Leonardo on Flight begins with the drawings from his years in Florence making theatrical devices ( ingegni) and then moves to the marvelous flying machine—the ornithopter—constructed in Milan during the same period he completed The Last Supper and the equestrian statue Francesco Sforza for Duke Ludovic il Moro . After 1500, Leonardo's work returned to nature and focused on the flight of birds, the dynamic potential of the human body, and the physics of wind. The final chapter of the book considers the last years of Leonardo's life and his escape into theory and whimsical experiments such as flying wax figurines, inflated bullocks' intestines, and automatons.

Book excerpt: Catalogo ufficiale della mostra di Firenze (Galleria degli Uffizi, 28 marzo 2006-7 gennaio 2007). Fra i grandi protagonisti della cultura universale nessuno è più popolare di Leonardo da Vinci. Seduce la sua universalità, impressiona la sua biografia, rimane indimenticabile la sua immagine affidata al celebre "Autoritratto" di Torinono e poi replicata in infinite varianti dalla iconografia ottocentesca e novecentesca. C'è qualcosa di veramente misterioso e quasi di esoterico nell'idea che l'immaginario popolare si è fatta di Leonardo. Egli è il pittore, il disegnatore, lo sperimentatore. È il teorico delle arti, è il filosofo e lo scienziato, l'anatomista e il cosmologo, il cartografo e l'architetto, quello che studia il volo degli uccelli, la circolazione del sangue, il ritmo delle maree, quello che ascolta l'"anima mundi", e "inventa" le macchine del futuro. "La mente di Leonardo" inaugura il ciclo di iniziative dal titolo "The Universal Leonardo", che formano il prestigioso programma della 28° Eposizione d'Arte, Scienza e Cultura promossa dal Consiglio d'Europa.
