It focuses on De Raey's identification in Aristotle of a doctrine corresponding to Descartes's subtle matter and asks which strand of the Aristotelian tradition he relied on for this identification. The study centres on De Raey's 1652 disputation De materia subtili and also draws on his lecture notes preserved in manuscript form, his earliest disputation, and the disputations of his teacher Henricus Regius, in which De Raey often served as respondent. The analysis shows, first, that De Raey interpreted Aristotle as positing a subtle body analogous to the element of the stars. Second, it argues that De Raey arrived at this reading by relying on the interpretation of the Generation of Animals by the Wittenberg medical professor Daniel Sennert, whose works De Raey encountered early in his career while studying medicine under Regius. Finally, De Raey gave Sennert's interpretation a decisively materialist turn, thereby making it possible to read Aristotle within a corpuscular, Cartesian framework. In this respect, he can be placed within the broader seventeenth-century movement to reinterpret Sennert's Aristotelianism in corpuscular terms.","PeriodicalId":8086,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Science","volume":" ","pages":"1-19"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2026-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148668370","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, anatomists including Andreas Vesalius, Realdo Colombo, Carlo Fracassati and Marcello Malpighi relied on nonhuman bodies - especially pigs and dogs - to investigate the mechanisms of life. The animal's cry served simultaneously as evidence of suffering and as a confirmation of scientific authority. Concurrently, the agronomist Vincenzo Tanara emphasized the pig's profitability within rural economies, and the writer Giulio Cesare Croce praised its value to urban life. By combining the history of anatomy, the history of agronomy and the history of food, this study shows how pigs, living and dead, occupied a nexus of compassion and exploitation, anatomical knowledge and food production. The pig reveals a distinctive configuration of early modern knowledge, where ideas about animal utility not only circulated between different knowledge and practices, such as anatomy agronomy and cookery, but were also shaped by the porous boundaries between them.","PeriodicalId":8086,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Science","volume":" ","pages":"1-15"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2026-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148444110","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Science, where research and publications often reflected opposing ideologies, is undoubtedly a crucial area. Julian Huxley's Evolution in Action (1953), a scientific work on genetics, exemplifies the scientific outlook of the Free World. Under the auspices of Aid Refugee Chinese Intellectuals, an American anti-communist organization helping with the resettlement of Chinese refugees, Huxley's Evolution in Action was translated by Xu Guansan and published in Hong Kong in 1953. Through Xu's translation, both the political image of Huxley and the political elements of Evolution were deliberately downplayed. For Xu, genetic knowledge was not merely an expression of political ideology but a means to promote his academic beliefs, particularly integrating historical studies with scientific disciplines. In this sense, Evolution lost the original political significance attributed to it by the Cold War bipolarity when it traveled to Hong Kong via translation. Examing Xu Guansan's translation of genetic knowledge complicates the history of science in Cold War Hong Kong by offering an aspect from the individual who reproduced the scientific work.","PeriodicalId":8086,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Science","volume":" ","pages":"554-570"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144940068","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This essay examines such intersections in one setting that has largely eluded their attention, Imperial Russia. It investigates the pivotal role played by Alexander N. Aksakov (1832-1903) in developing a scientific approach to 'mediumistic phenomena'. It follows Aksakov's personal journey from Swedenborgian mysticism to 'scientific spiritualism' by tracing his extensive network of contacts with like-minded individuals around the world. It details Aksakov's labours in forging close links between spiritualism and science from 1865 to 1875 and in fostering lively discussions - in Russia, Britain, France, and Germany - on the intersections of these two elements of contemporary cultures. By analysing his translating and publishing activities in multiple languages, up to the founding in 1874 of Psychische Studien, the first journal dedicated to scientific investigations of spiritualist phenomena, it explores Aksakov's role in both 'domesticating' spiritualism in his homeland and 'internationalizing' Russian contributions to its development on the world stage. It argues that the particularities of social and cultural landscape in post-Crimean Russia both facilitated and hampered Aksakov's efforts to educate the Russian public and Russian scientists about 'scientific spiritualism', shaping their forms, locales, and outcomes.","PeriodicalId":8086,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Science","volume":" ","pages":"501-553"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143960426","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The unexpected revision initiated by Schubring in 1996 of the research findings on the sources of Graßmann's mathematical creativity, which have been available since Friedrich Engel, is rejected as unfounded. New insights into the introduction of the negative in geometry and the significance of the concept of multiplication for Graßmann are presented. Biographical information about Graßmann's work receives a stronger contextualization, and a simplistic handling of material hermeneutics in the historiography of mathematics is criticized. As shown by the influence of Pestalozzi on mathematics education in Prussia in the first half of the nineteenth century, in the case of Justus and Hermann Graßmann, there are 'causally effective societal factors in the development of mathematics' [Hans Wußing, 'Externalismus - Internalismus', N.T.M., 15 (2007), [284-88]], which were historically intertwined with the inner-mathematical development potentials of their time.","PeriodicalId":8086,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Science","volume":" ","pages":"571-603"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144940029","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As these liquors gradually became popular in the late sixteenth century, health advice began to incorporate discussions on them. Focusing on William Vaughan, Tobias Venner, James Hart, and Francis Bacon, this study investigated how their opinions reflect their medical ideas and interests, as well as the changing drinking habits in contemporary England. Although Vaughan initially praised the life-extending effects of distilled liquor, his later treatises became much more sceptical. He criticized its regular dietary use as he became more focused on colonization and anxious about excessive drinking in contemporary England. Physicians Venner and Hart held a similar sceptical attitude toward distilled liquor but insisted on the difference in constitutions among humans. Vaughan, Venner, and Hart also exhibit ambivalence because they all admitted the efficacy of distilled liquor. Bacon believed that spirits in the body would perform destructive actions that eventually led to death and that these actions were enhanced by distilled liquors. Thus, he attempted to prepare milder drinks for a long life by infusing meat into wine and beer.","PeriodicalId":8086,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Science","volume":"83 3","pages":"453-472"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148270072","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
