Learning objectives

This course intends to explore the impact of early modern science on traditional views of the cosmos and of man's place in nature. It also aims at showing to what extent scientific culture depends both on social and material settings in which scientists work.

Prerequisites and basic notions

The course does not require particular prerequisites.

Program

This course is divided into two parts: 36 hours traditional + 6 hours laboratorial.
The first part will focus on the so-called 'Scientific revolution' in Europe from the Renaissance to the early Eighteenth century. Particular attention will be devoted to revolutionary ideas in astronomy, physics, natural history and medicine.
1. Contents, aims and methodology
2. Historiography of science today
3. Scientific change: Kuhn and the post-positivistic epistemology
4. The Quattrocento: the rise of natural knowledge
5-6. Leonardo: the method, the body, the Earth
7-8. The cosmos of the ancients
9-10. The revolution of Copernicus
11. Reactions to Copernicus
12. Tycho Brahe
13. Johannes Kepler
14-19. Galileo; nature, science and power
20. Medicine in the Renaissance
21. Early modern anatomy: Andrea Vesalius
22. William Harvey
23. Hermeticism and the sciences
24. Natural history in the Renaissance
25-28. Descartes' mechanical cosmos
29. Scientific academies: Italy, Great Britain, France
30-36. Isaac Newton
In the second part, topics dealing with contemporary science will be discussed in comparison with scientific practice of the past.
Apart form the mandatory textbook (one book only among the three suggested), students not participating in the lectures must follow the suggestions given in “Lessico corso (i)”, and read the 'classic' Thomas Kuhn, The Structure of Scientific Revolutions (The University of Chicago Press, or equivalent editions).

Bibliography

Vai alla bibliografia
Visualizza la bibliografia con Leganto, strumento che il Sistema Bibliotecario mette a disposizione per recuperare i testi in programma d'esame in modo semplice e innovativo.

Didactic methods

For the first part, lectures will be devoted to illustrating specific topics of the program using slide to read sources, relevant images and historical documents.
For the second part, information on the logistics will be provided as soon as possible.

Learning assessment procedures

During the traditional oral interview the Professor will ask the student to discuss two or more topics of the programme.
International students are kindly requested to get in contact with the Professor as soon as possible.
Students not partecipating in the lectures have also to prepare T. Kuhn, The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, any edition.

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE

Evaluation criteria

The Professor will assess the quality of the acquired information, the logic of the argumentation, the originality and autonomy of thought reached by the student.

Criteria for the composition of the final grade

The final vote does not consist of distinct parts; it is the result of a unitary evaluation of the work made by the student, but the contribution given to the lessons will be taken into account.
