Sennert and the Renaissance Debates on Occult Qualities and Occult Diseases
Renaissance natural philosophers and physicians engaged in intense debates on occult qualities at the threshold of the Scientific Revolution. Daniel Sennert of Wittenberg played a significant role in these debates through his assiduous research. His efforts were crystallized in two works of his mature period: an inquiry into occult qualities as the second book of his Physical Memoirs (1636); and the massive volume On Occult Diseases (1635). Indeed, the Renaissance debates on occult qualities were closely related to those of occult diseases, as both issues were intertwined and fervently advanced by Jean Fernel of Paris. Sennert’s lifelong quest for occult qualities and occult diseases was a critical response to Fernel’s ideas.
期刊介绍:
Early Science and Medicine (ESM) is a peer-reviewed international journal dedicated to the history of science, medicine and technology from the earliest times through to the end of the eighteenth century. The need to treat in a single journal all aspects of scientific activity and thought to the eighteenth century is due to two factors: to the continued importance of ancient sources throughout the Middle Ages and the early modern period, and to the comparably low degree of specialization and the high degree of disciplinary interdependence characterizing the period before the professionalization of science.
