Description

Explore how the concept of discovery itself was invented during the early modern period in this scholarly examination of knowledge practices from 1500 to 1700. This interdisciplinary collection challenges the traditional Age of Discovery narrative by investigating whether the invention/discovery binary was actually constructed rather than inherent. Contributors analyse the emergence of modern natural science through diverse early modern practices, spanning from Bacon and Galileo to stagecraft, mathematics, martyrology and romance. The volume traces how discovery became established as an absolute and seemingly neutral standard of knowledge production, reshaping our understanding of scientific and intellectual development during this transformative historical era.
