'Andrea Cesalpino and the Rejection of the Celestial Spheres in Seventeenth-Century University of Edinburgh'
No full textThis is a case study on the reception of the work of Italian natural philosopher Andrea Cesalpino in early modern tertiary education. It explores the ways in which Cesalpino's views were characterised in relation to significant intellectual developments in the early modern period. It presents an original examination of contemporary sources and offers insight into how his ideas were presented and conceptualized by a network of European scholars operating within formal education at the University of Edinburgh
Philosophy, Medicine, and Humanism in Cesalpino’s Investigation into Demons
No full textIn Daemonum investigatio peripatetica, Andreas Cesalpino argued for the reality of demons and explained their existence and actions using principles of natural philosophy developed in the Quaestiones peripateticae. He stressed the concept of spirit and the presence of divine substance in humans. His discussion of demons attempts to reconcile Hippocratic texts with Aristotle’s views about the “demonic” character of nature, as expressed in On Divination during Sleep. In doing so, Cesalpino distinguished the supernatural, preternatural, and the natural. He contended that demons were immaterial beings that used the factive intelligence to possess and vex their victims. In doing so they act in an analogous way to artisans. Therefore, demonic acts are artificial rather than natural and thus beyond the ordinary course of nature. Since their deeds involve the human soul and spirits, demonic works also are tied to the divine intelligence that pervades nature

The Place of Subjectivity in the Academic Study of Religion: A Response to Craig Martin
No full textAbstract
This paper responds to post-structuralist criticisms of my book, Philosophy and the Study of Religions: A Manifesto, made by Craig Martin. In particular, it defends my realist accounts of human beliefs and of religions as structures that operate, respectively, in human subjectivity and in history, even when they are not named.</jats:p
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Andrea Cesalpino and Renaissance Aristotelianism: Natural Philosophy in the 16th Century
No full textFabrizio Baldassarri and Craig Martin's volume sheds new light on the understudied Italian Renaissance scholar, Andrea Cesalpino and the diverse fields he wrote on. Contributors cover the multiple traditions that characterize Cesalpino's complex natural philosophy and medical theories, taking in epistemology, demonology, mineralogy, and botany.
By moving beyond the established influence of Aristotle's texts on his work, Andrea Cesalpino and Renaissance Aristotelianism reflects the rich influences of Platonism, alchemy, and Galenism. Cesalpino's relation to the new sciences of the 17th century are traced through his direct influences, on Galileo, botany, and blood circulation. In combining Cesalpino's reception of these traditions alongside his connections to early modern science, this book provides a vital case study of Renaissance Aristotelianism
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
