Gardens, Knowledge and the Sciences in the Early Modern Period
Author: Hubertus FischerPublisher: Birkhäuser
ISBN: 3319263420
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 369
Book Description
This volume focuses on the outstanding contributions made by botany and the mathematical sciences to the genesis and development of early modern garden art and garden culture. The many facets of the mathematical sciences and botany point to the increasingly “scientific” approach that was being adopted in and applied to garden art and garden culture in the early modern period. This development was deeply embedded in the philosophical, religious, political, cultural and social contexts, running parallel to the beginning of processes of scientization so characteristic for modern European history. This volume strikingly shows how these various developments are intertwined in gardens for various purposes.
