Synopsis
A selection of 13 papers comprise the third and final volume that emerged from the November 2001 Knowledge and Learning conference in Groningen; the other two cover classical and Medieval periods. Historians mostly from Groningen but also elsewhere in Europe and the US consider such topics as changing conceptions of conception in English popular science from 1450 to 1650, a Gothic imaginary in a Dutch perspective, and the appropriation of Descartes in 19th-century philosophy.
