Introduction - Special issue on Transit and Translation in Early Modern Europe
No full textThe aim of this special multidisciplinary issue of Intralinea is to take a close look at the circulation of European
Renaissance texts between Italy, Great Britain, the Netherlands and the Scandinavian countries. Recent studies
have begun to shift attention to the vast historic and cultural significance of translation in early modern Europe,
with the aim of balancing the traditional tendency of looking at translated texts from a solely linguistic or
literary perspective (Burke, Po-Chia Hsia 2007). The last twenty years have seen the rise of a new interest in the
practices and theories of early modern translation (Hermans 1996; Bistué 2013), the role of cultural mediators
played by translators and printers (Höfele-Von Koppenfels 2005), the innovative function of translated works with
regard to specific aspects of culture in the early modern period (Di Biase 2006; Scarsi 2010) and in the history of
print culture, including translated books (Barker-Hosington 2013). The improvement of technologies for online and
data-base cataloguing (see for instance the Renaissance Cultural Crossroads Catalogue[1]), together with the
possibility of directly accessing digitized primary sources, have opened up new avenues of exploration, which
have so far produced interesting results that are mostly limited to individual authors.
This issue hopes to add to this evolving debate by outlining the field of inquiry, in the interests of looking at a
well-defined phenomenon in terms of space and time: textual relationships, that is, between Italy, the Netherlands,
the British Isles and the Scandinavian countries in the early modern age
A Convex Mirror. Schopenhauer's Philosophy and the Sciences
No full textSchopenhauer is most recognizable as "the philosopher of pessimism," the author of a system that teaches how art and morality can help human beings navigate life in "the worst of all possible worlds." This dominant image of Schopenhauer has cut off an important branch of his tree of philosophy: the metaphysics of nature and its dialogue with the sciences of the time.
A Convex Mirror sheds new light on the development of Schopenhauer's philosophy and his ongoing engagement with the natural sciences. Understanding Schopenhauer's metaphysics requires both an insight into his relationship with science and an appreciation of the role of the natural sciences in his philosophical project. In the first edition of The World as Will and Representation (1819), Schopenhauer dealt with science within the framework of Kant and Schelling's philosophies of nature, but his growing perplexity with them led him to an original, more complex conception of the relationship between science and metaphysics. He therefore embarked on a revision of his metaphysics of nature, which ultimately affected its core concepts—namely, the will and ideas—and influenced his decision to publish a volume of Supplements (1844) rather than a revised edition of his main work.
The evolving relationship of Schopenhauer's philosophy to the natural sciences is a powerful interpretative tool: a "convex diffusing mirror" that reflects the totality and complexity of his system and sheds light on the core concepts of his philosophy, such as the systematic structure of his philosophy, reality and representation, idealism and realism, the polysemic nature of ideas, and the will as the thing in itself
