    In Light without Heat, David Carroll Simon argues for the importance of carelessness to the literary and scientific experiments of the seventeenth century. While scholars have often looked to this period in order to narrate the triumph of methodical rigor as a quintessentially modern intellectual value, Simon describes the appeal of open-ended receptivity to the protagonists of the new science. In straying from the work of self-possession and the duty to sift fact from fiction, early modern intellectuals discovered the cognitive advantages of the undisciplined mind.Exploring the influence of what he calls the "observational mood" on both poetry and prose, Simon offers new readings of Michel de Montaigne, Francis Bacon, Izaak Walton, Henry Power, Robert Hooke, Robert Boyle, Andrew Marvell, and John Milton. He also extends his inquiry beyond the boundaries of early modernity, arguing for a literary theory that trades strict methodological commitment for an openness to lawless drift

    Himmels-Falten eröffnet eine neue Perspektive auf die Geschichte der Luftfahrt, indem es das Theater der Frühen Neuzeit als einen Schauplatz aviatischer Wissensproduktion herausstellt. Die Zeitspanne von Leonardo da Vincis Flugstudien um 1500 bis zur ersten erfolgreichen Ballonfahrt durch die Montgolfière (1783) war eine Latenzzeit, in der Flug und Luftfahrt ihrer sakralen Bedeutung zunehmend enthoben, aber noch nicht im Bereich wissenschaftlicher Evidenz und technischer Realisierbarkeit angelangt sind. Wie die Studie zeigt, ist es gerade diese unscharfe Kontur des Fliegens, die in Kunst und Wissenschaft auf produktives Potenzial trifft: Der Flug wird zum Untersuchungsgegenstand und Aushängeschild der neuen Wissenschaften, zum Ansporn handwerklichen Erfindungseifers, zur beliebten Metapher in Rhetorik, Philosophie und Reiseliteratur sowie zum ästhetischen Faszinosum der Theater- und Festkultur. Viktoria Tkaczyk nimmt acht exemplarische Interferenzbereiche zwischen Flugkunst und -wissen in den Blick, so beispielsweise Leonardo da Vincis Theaterarbeit, die Einfluss auf die prominenten Flugmaschinen des italienischen Ingenieurs genommen hat.

    "What purpose is served by showing that England's greatest natural philosopher is flawed ... like other mortals?" asks one of the characters in Newton's Darkness. "We need unsullied heroes!" But what if the hero is sullied? At stake is an issue that is as germane today as it was 300 years ago: a scientist's ethics must not be divorced from scientific accomplishments. There is probably no other scientist of whom so many biographies and other historical analyses have been published than Isaac Newton - all of them in the standard format of documentary prose because of their didactic purpose to transmit historical information. Newton's Darkness, however, illuminates the darker aspects of Newton's persona through two historically grounded plays dealing with two of the bitterest struggles in the history of science. The name of Isaac Newton appears in virtually every survey of the public's choice for the most important persons of the second millennium. Yet the term "darkness" can be applied to much of Newton's personality. Adjectives that have been used to describe facets of his personality include "remote", "lonely", "secretive", "introverted", "melancholic", "humorless", "puritanical", "cruel", "vindictive" and, perhaps worst of all, "unforgiving". The trait most relevant to the present book is Newton's obsessively competitive nature, which was often out of proportion to the warranted facts, as demonstrated in three of Newton's best-known bitter conflicts: with the physicist Robert Hooke, the astronomer royal John Flamsteed, and a German contemporary of almost equal intellectual prowess, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz - the last fight eventually turning into an England vs Continental Europe competition. It is two of these three relentless drawn-out battles that are illuminated in Newton's Darkness in the form of historically grounded drama. After a summary of the historical evidence, the book starts with the Newton-Hooke struggle (Chapter 2), which was conducted mano a mano, and is then followed by little-known aspects of the Newton-Leibniz confrontation (Chapter 3), which was fought largely through surrogates - notably the infamous, anonymous committee of 11 Fellows of the Royal Society Introduction: flawed genius -- First view: two principals, Newton's Hooke by David Pinner -- Second view: three minions, Calculus (Newton's whores) by Carl Djerassi -- Authors' biographical sketches -- Acknowledgments.

    In Light without Heat, David Carroll Simon argues for the importance of carelessness to the literary and scientific experiments of the seventeenth century. While scholars have often looked to this period in order to narrate the triumph of methodical rigor as a quintessentially modern intellectual value, Simon describes the appeal of open-ended receptivity to the protagonists of the new science. In straying from the work of self-possession and the duty to sift fact from fiction, early modern intellectuals discovered the cognitive advantages of the undisciplined mind.Exploring the influence of what he calls the "observational mood" on both poetry and prose, Simon offers new readings of Michel de Montaigne, Francis Bacon, Izaak Walton, Henry Power, Robert Hooke, Robert Boyle, Andrew Marvell, and John Milton. He also extends his inquiry beyond the boundaries of early modernity, arguing for a literary theory that trades strict methodological commitment for an openness to lawless drift.
