Before returning to Florence at the beginning of June 1624, Galileo, informed Federico Cesi that he had 'six long meetings' with Urban. This is the only reference by Galileo to the meetings. There is no mention of the content of their discussions in any of the correspondence with Cesi or anyone else, nor is there any record about what went on during their meetings. In this paper, I shall try to test the viability of another hypothesis and examine how consistent such a hypothesis is with respect to earlier as well as later developments. The hypothesis is that Urban asked Galileo to write a book about astronomy in which an Aristotelian philosopher would be in conversation with a mathematically trained natural philosopher, and as the discussions concerning astronomy and physics unfolded, the Aristotelian would start to embrace the ideas that the mathematician had initially articulated. Urban's suggestion was the result of his worries about the growing antagonisms among the Jesuits, the philosophers, the theologians, the astronomers and the natural philosophers and he aimed at reversing what was so dramatically provoked by Il Saggiatore.","PeriodicalId":8086,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Science","volume":" ","pages":"1-39"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145136110","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}

Focusing on two leaders, early modern Britain and the post-World War II United States, the essay explores some undercurrents left unexplored in the existing literature and in particular the changing purpose and motive of scientific research. Firstly, it deals with the emergent idea of useful knowledge in a broad context and tracks down how early modern Britons attempted to promote mechanical arts into sciences, arguing that by the late eighteenth century that idea was bifurcated into abstract and practical science. Secondly, the essay deals with how the post-World War II US developed the bifurcated idea into basic and applied research, focusing on university scientists, who endeavoured to adapt themselves with the rise of applied research and of academic entrepreneurship during the first four post-war decades; they were especially concerned about the motive of personal profit and their social standing as well. The essay concludes that the conventional orders of knowledge have been inverted in the contemporary US, a development closely interwoven with capitalism, thus dissenting from the prevailing interpretation that underlines continuities rather than changes.","PeriodicalId":8086,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Science","volume":" ","pages":"1-43"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145124025","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}

Just under two decades later, Lars Montin (1723-1778), a student of the now famous Uppsala professor Linnaeus, followed his teacher's footsteps. We will focus on the accounts that both naturalists gave of the parasitic reindeer warble fly Hypoderma tarandi. While Linnaeus integrated the life history of this fly with his image of Sámi pastoralism as representing a 'silver age' of humanity in tune with the balance of nature, Montin mused about ways in which the fly's damaging effects on reindeer could be weaponized to force the Sámi into 'productive' labour. As a consequence, Linnaeus's timeless conception of an economy of nature was infused by Montin with notions of historical development and an open future. We will suggest that the differing attitudes of Linneaus and Montin can be explained by changes in the political context - most notably an emerging effort to enforce national borders and fiscal regimes in Northern Scandinavia in the 1740s and 1750s. But the different attitudes they developed towards the reindeer warble fly also point to deeper connections between natural history practices and the writing of human histories.","PeriodicalId":8086,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Science","volume":" ","pages":"436-462"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144257248","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}

Four years later, Crimean Tartar horsemen joined a major uprising against the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, gravely destabilizing one of Europe's largest states. These near-simultaneous incursions by ostensibly nomadic, horse-riding 'Tartars' into firearm-defended sedentary states generated extensive historiographical reflection on the role of nomads and their warhorse-centred armies in shaping human history. This article explores how the Jesuit Martino Martini drew on these Tartar wars to articulate a dialectical theory of human history, oscillating between civilization and barbarism, respectively embodied by agriculturalism and nomadic-pastoralism. Such theories, I argue, emerged in dialogue with pressing concerns about military security in metropolitan Europe. Indeed, the shock of the near-simultaneous Tartar wars spurred European writers to critically examine their own states' defences, contributing to controversies between Ancient and Modern military technologies. As this article shows, several Europeans came to construe Tartars simultaneously as 'barbarians' and a source of valuable martial expertise to be studied and selectively appropriated.","PeriodicalId":8086,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Science","volume":" ","pages":"381-406"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143970824","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 article deals with the debate between Gotha's court historiographer Wilhelm Ernst Tentzel (1659-1707), who interpreted the discovery as the remains of an elephant, and the collegium medicum of Gotha, that insisted that it was a lusus naturae. The debate, in which scholars throughout Europe soon became involved, is paradigmatic for the social, professional, epistemological and religious frames that determined what around 1700 one could say and think about the history of the earth and the role humans played in it. While Tentzel, as a specialist in human history, proved that the findings of fossilized exotic animals could not be explained by human intervention and argued for the Deluge as an agent of transport, for some of his correspondents inconsistencies between human history and the history of Nature emerged at this point, and time itself became an issue. The study emphasizes the importance of regional historiography for the understanding of nature as well as the transformation of history of Nature into natural history.","PeriodicalId":8086,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Science","volume":" ","pages":"351-380"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143727657","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}
