The Center had all I needed for my work, and more importantly a group of great scholars and colleagues to whom I am most grateful. I owe my biggest thanks to my supervisors, Paul Bakker and Cees Leijenhorst, without whose guidance this thesis could not have been possible. Since the first day of my job as a doctoral candidate, they have followed my work with great enthusi- asm. They have always encouraged me to think that big ideas and projects could and shouldbepursued.Theytaughtmedosowiththerightdoseofpragmatism.IfIhave made some progress as a scholar during these years, much of this is thanks to them. I cannot say how much I have benefited from the help of Hans Thijssen, Chris- toph Lüthy, Carla Rita Palmerino, Frederik Bakker, and Leen Spruit. Their comments on what I have written, as well as on my presentations during the seminars at the Center, brought my thesis to a much higher level. Their constant support and faith in my work were indispensable in the completion of my thesis. I would like to mention the names of all the other colleagues whom I had the privilege to meet during the last five years: Delphine Bellis, Femke Kok, Sander de Boer, Doina Cristina Rusu, Bill Duba, Erik Dücker, Hiro Hirai, Kuni Sakamoto, Elisabeth Moreau, Adam Takahashi, Carli Coenen, Chiara Beneduce, Lyke de Vries, Elena Nicoli, and Sanne Stuur. Your daily companionship and suggestions helped me work in a wonderful environment. I would like to thank the past and present members of the Center who shared their office with me and kindly endured my presence: Sander, Doina, and Delphine. Seeing you working so hard right next to my desk really set an example for me. I would also like to thank all the other friends and colleagues who were so kind as to read parts of my thesis. At the very least, I would like to mention Marco Lamanna and Kuni Sakamoto. Marco, your comments on some of my papers and our long phone calls on psychology and confessionalisation truly helped me a lot. Kuni, your straightforward comments and questions on my work were so precious, and it was just beautiful to chat with someone like you who also likes my obscure sixteenth- century authors. This thesis could not have been possible without the financial support of the interdisciplinary research programme of Radboud University, Nijmegen, entitled ‘Culture, Religion and Memory’. x acknowledgments Whilst writing my thesis, I was so fortunate as to always feel the love of my friends, both those living near me and those who are scattered across the globe. Some of them I have always known and some of them I had the privilege to meet more recently. There are so many of you that it is just impossible to thank you all individually. But to all of you, thank you for being there. Finally, I would like to thank my mother and my father. I could never have achieved so much without your example and unconditional support. chapter 1 Introduction 1.0. Subject of This Thesis Aristotle, at the very onset of his book De anima (On the Soul), introduces psychology as a discipline of the highest rank, both because of the dignity and wonderfulness of its subjects and because of its exactness. But whilst he assigns such prominence to psychology, Aristotle is more careful about its epistemological status: «to attain any knowledge about the soul is one of the most difficult things in the world».1 The medieval tradition of commentaries on Aristotle’s De anima measured itself with such ambivalence between the exactness and nobility of psychology on the one hand and the actual difficulty of knowing the soul on the other.2 As a matter of fact, knowing the soul became even more difficult over the centuries and especially after Aristotle’s teaching came in contact and had to be harmonised with Christianity. Yet, it was probably because of the very efforts to determine an orthodox Chris- tian view about the nature and destiny of the soul that two things about it became clear. First, when the acts of the Council of Vienne (1311–1312) established that the intellective soul of man was truly and per se the form of the human body.3 Sec- 1 Aristotle, De anima, in Jonathan Barnes, ed., The Complete Works of Aristotle. The Revised Oxford Translation (Princeton 1984), i.1, 402a10. 2 On medieval discussions about the epistemic status of the science of the soil, see: Sander W. de Boer, The Science of the Soul. The Commentary Tradition on Aristotle’s De anima, c. 1260–c. 1360 (Leuven 2013), 92–122. 3 The acts of the Council of Vienne, which were published by John xxii, condemned as heretic any- one who denies that the intellective soul is truly and per se the form of the human body. The Latin text of the condemnation reads as follows: «Porro doctrinam omnem seu positionem, temere asserentem aut vertentem in dubium, quod substantia animae rationalis seu intellectivae vere ac per se humani corporis non sit forma, velut erroneam ac veritatis catholicae fidei inimicam prae- dictosacroapprobanteconcilioreprobamus,definientes,utcunctisnotasitfideisinceraeveritas,ac praecludatur universis erroribus aditus, ne subintrent, quod quisquis deinceps asserere, defendere seu tenere pertinaciter praesumpserit, quod anima rationalis seu intellectiva non sit forma cor- poris humani per se et essentialiter, tanquam haereticus sit censendus» (Aemelius Ludwig Richter and Emil Albert Friedberg, eds., Corpus iuris canonici (Graz 1959), 1134).

The examination will be conducted in Swedish. Abstract Ingemarsdotter, J. 2011. Ramism, Rhetoric and Reform. An Intellectual Biography of Johan Skytte (1577–1645). Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. Uppsala Studies in History of Ideas 42. 322 pp. Uppsala. ISBN 978-91-554-8071-4. This thesis is an intellectual biography of the Swedish statesman Johan Skytte (1577–1645), focusing on his educational ideals and his contributions to educational reform in the early Swedish Age of Greatness. Although born a commoner, Skytte rose to be one of the most powerful men in Sweden in the first half of the seventeenth century, serving three generations of regents. As a royal preceptor and subsequently a university chancellor, Skytte appears as an early educational politician at a time when the Swedish Vasa dynasty initiated a number of far-reaching reforms, including the revival of Sweden’s only university at the time (in Uppsala). The contextual approach of the thesis shows how Skytte’s educational reform agenda was shaped by nationally motivated arguments as well as by a Late Renaissance humanist heritage, celebrating education as the foundation of all prosperous civilizations. Utilizing a largely unexplored source material written mostly in Latin, the thesis analyzes how Skytte’s educational arguments were formed already at the University of Marburg in the 1590s, where he learned to embrace the utility-orientated ideals of the French humanist Petrus Ramus (1515–1572).

  • History of Ontology from Suã¡Rez to Kant (1597-1781)
    History of Ontology from Suárez to Kant (1597-1781) https://www.ontology.co/history.htm Theory and History of Ontology by Raul Corazzon | e-mail: [email protected] Birth of a New Science: the History of Ontology from Suárez to Kant INTRODUCTION "To begin with we want to state that ontology should be seen only as an interdiscipline involving both philosophy and science. It is a discipline which points out the problems of the foundations of the sciences as well as the borderline questions, and which further attempts to solve these problems and questions. Ontology is not a discipline which exists separately and independently from all the other scientific disciplines and also from other branches of philosophy. Rather, ontology derives the general structure of the world; it obtains the structure of the world as it really is from knowledge embodied in other disciplines. If one examines the history of philosophy one sees that ontology has never solved or attempted to solve the questions about the structures of our world independently, apart from the other philosophical disciplines or apart from the sciences. As is expressed by this symposium's topic, "Language and Ontology", ontology has derived the world's structure from other disciplines which describe reality, and has thus relied upon the languages of other disciplines. A common belief is that this derivation of the world's most general structures from the knowledge of other disciplines is ontology's only task. But now the belief is that in doing ontology one always selects the most important and most general laws from among all the laws which the various disciplines have to offer at any given time.

    1 Postprint. Please cite published version in History of Universities 30/2 (2020):57-84. Domesticating Descartes, Renovating Scholasticism: Johann Clauberg And The German Reception Of Cartesianism Nabeel Hamid Abstract This article studies the academic context in which Cartesianism was absorbed in Germany in the mid-seventeenth century. It focuses on the role of Johann Clauberg (1622-1665), first rector of the new University of Duisburg, in adjusting scholastic tradition to accommodate Descartes’ philosophy, thereby making the latter suitable for teaching in universities. It highlights contextual motivations behind Clauberg’s synthesis of Cartesianism with the existing framework such as a pedagogical interest in Descartes as offering a simpler method, and a systematic concern to disentangle philosophy from theological disputes. These motivations are brought into view by situating Clauberg in the closely-linked contexts of Protestant educational reforms in the seventeenth century, and debates around the proper relation between philosophy and theology. In this background, it argues that Clauberg nevertheless retains an Aristotelian conception of ontology for purely philosophical reasons, specifically, to give objective foundations to Descartes’s metaphysics of substance. In conclusion, Clauberg should not be assimilated either to Aristotelianism or to Cartesianism or, indeed, to syncretic labels such as ‘Cartesian Scholastic’. Instead, he should be read as transforming both schools by drawing on a variety of elements in order to address issues local to the academic milieu of his time. Keywords: Johann Clauberg; Cartesian Scholastic; German Cartesianism; Protestant Scholasticism; Early Modern Aristotelianism; University of Duisburg; Ontology; German Reformed Education. 1.

  • The Subject Matter of First Philosophy
    The Subject Matter of First Philosophy https://www.ontology.co/subject-metaphysics.htm Theory and History of Ontology by Raul Corazzon | e-mail: [email protected] Metaphysics or Ontology? The Debate about the Subject-Matter of First Philosophy INTRODUCTION "As it now exists, the subject of metaphysics can be described by a distinction that became standard in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. (*) According to this distinction, metaphysics has two principal divisions: general metaphysics and special metaphysics. General metaphysics includes ontology and most of what has been called universal science; it is concerned, on the whole, with the general nature of reality: with problems about abstract and concrete being, the nature of particulars, the distinction between appearance and reality, and the universal principles holding true of what has fundamental being. Special metaphysics is concerned with certain problems about particular kinds or aspects of being. These special problems are associated with the distinction between the mental and the physical, the possibility of human freedom, the nature of personal identity, the possibility of survival after death, and the existence of God. The traditional subject of what is real as opposed to what is mere appearance is treated in both general and special metaphysics, for some of the issues relevant to it are more general or fundamental than others." (p.11) Notes (*) See, for example, Baruch Spinoza, "Thoughts on Metaphysics," in Earlier Philosophical Writings, trans. Frank A. Hayes (Indianapolis, 1963), pp. 107-61.

  • “Unheard of Curiosities” an Exhibition of Rare Books on the Occult and Esoteric Sciences
    “Unheard of Curiosities” An Exhibition of Rare Books on the Occult and Esoteric Sciences Exhibition Catalog by Erika B. Gorder February 2014 Special Collections and University Archives Rutgers University Libraries About the Exhibition “Unheard-of Curiosities”: An Exhibition of Rare Books on the Occult and Esoteric Sciences showcases rare books from Special Collections and University Archives that display evidence of the enduring popular interest in a diverse constellation of “occult” topics from the 16th century to the present day. The exhibition primarily features books collected by the late Rutgers Professor of English, Clement Fairweather (the "Fairweather Collection"), which predominantly center on astrology and early astronomy from the 17th through the 19th centuries. Secondary topics include prediction and prophecy, demons and the devil, witchcraft and magic, the mysteries of ancient Egypt, and the 19th and-early-20th-century occult revival. A temporal rift in the collection is evident, roughly divided between works from the 17th century and the 19th century. The exhibition's topical boundaries are drawn by the Fairweather Collection itself—both its strengths and weaknesses. The curators reviewed the collection of nearly 300 volumes and identified major areas of concentration: astrology, astronomy, astrological medicine, alchemy and hermeticism, witchcraft, and prophecy and prognostication. Some topics, though not documented with great depth in the Fairweather Collection, are nonetheless featured because of their novelty or significance within the framework of the history of the occult. These include Merlin, magic and spells, Aleister Crowley, Egyptology, and cartomancy. Where relevant, books from the general rare book collection are included to enhance and illuminate a subject.

  • De Nihilo’ and Its Legacy
    erudition and the republic of letters 5 (2020) 237-273 brill.com/erl The Poetics of Nothing: Jean Passerat’s ‘De Nihilo’ and its Legacy Paul White Associate Professor of Classics, School of Languages, Cultures and Societies, University of Leeds, Leeds, UK [email protected] Abstract On 1 January 1582 the poet and scholar Jean Passerat (1534–1602) sent a gift to his patron Henri de Mesmes: a poem in Latin hexameters about nothing (“De nihilo”). It became a literary sensation, prompting, over the next decades, a long and varied se- quence of poetic and prose responses in Latin and vernacular languages by various authors competing to out-do Passerat, and one another, in ingenuity. Why did this poem catch the imagination of so many as the sixteenth century turned into the seventeenth? This article offers the first complete account of the ‘Nothing’ phenome- non, as it passed between multiple languages, literary genres and cultural contexts. It traces its dissemination via networks linked to institutions of learning, to academies and salons, to patrons and to coteries of poets. Focusing on the French context in par- ticular, it then goes on to argue that the literary and political significance of these texts is greater than has hitherto been recognized.

  • Sour Faces, Happy Lives? on Laughter, Joy and Happiness of the Agelasts
    Sour Faces, Happy Lives? On Laughter, Joy and Happiness of the Agelasts Sari Kivistö Helsinki Collegium for Advanced Studies During the Renaissance and the early modern period, laughter as a bodily phenomenon caused by the jubilant mind became the subject of numerous scientific and literary texts. Scholars endeavoured to give detailed physiological descriptions of laughter and its immediately observable effects on the human body, especially on the face. Laughter was described as a bodily movement that was the result of the emotions of joy and happiness. However, early modern texts often also referred to ancient philosophers, intellectuals or religious figures who had never laughed once in their lives, or who had laughed so much that they had died of laughter. This essay explores these agelast and hypergelast figures. If the signs of rejoicing and happiness included a drawing back of the lips, what did the grim faces of the agelasts mean? Why did they abstain completely from an emotion that, at least in theory, was proper to all human beings? By examining selected sixteenth- and seventeenth-century texts, this essay presents some reasons found for the absence of laughter and reminds us of the curious interrelationships between laughter, well- being and virtuous living in early modern thinking. During the Renaissance the old doctrine of the four humours, which had been based on the ancient notion of the permanent condition of man, began to give way to a growing interest in transitory emotions. In this changing atmosphere laughter, as a temporary emotional state, fascinated many authors, medical researchers, and philosophers.1 Scholars often combined medical observation and psychological and cultural interpretation.

S. 2 Zusammenfassung Der gelehrte Politiker und Diplomat Johann Christian von Boineburg baute seit seiner Ju- gend eine umfangreiche Bibliothek auf, die mit mehr als 10.000 Titeln zu den großen priva- ten Sammlungen des 17. Jahrhunderts zählte.Inhalt und Struktur der Boineburgica zum Zeit- punkt seines Todes sind durch einen Katalog bekannt, den der junge Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz erstellte. Durch die Stiftung seines Sohnes, Philipp Wilhelm von Boineburg, wurde die Bibliothek in weiten Teilen für die Nachwelt erhalten. Auf der Grundlage des überlieferten Buchbestandes und des erhaltenen Kataloges der Bibliothek sowie des heute bekannten Briefwechsels entwirft die Arbeit ein Bild des Bücher- sammlers und –lesers Boineburg in seiner Zeit. Die Einbeziehung der überlieferten Drucke mit ihren handschriftlichen Einträgen ermög- licht die Rekonstruktion der Genese der Sammlung und die Analyse der Textaneignung durch ihren Besitzer. Gezeigt wird, inwieweit Boineburgs produktive Interessen und seine wissenschaftlichen Ambitionen neben seiner beruflichen politischen Tätigkeit und seinen mäzenatischen Aktivitäten die Zusammensetzung seiner Bibliothek begründen. Deutlich wird dabei auch Boineburgs Verwurzelung im Späthumanismus insgesamt.
