Scholars need more time to think. It is not just to find something interesting, but also the way one manages to say and convey a message. Historians need time to explore details! #histsci #histphilo #17thcentury #bluestorians #skystorians

New publication on Descartes and politics (in French), which looks like an interesting volume! #descartes #17thcenturyphilosophy #histphilo #earlymodern #bluedescartes #descartessky #skystorians

A nice seminar organized in Venice/online - it remains difficult to discuss about mechanization and mechanical philosophy in the early modern period, and perhaps it is no more possible to do it with Descartes/Cartesian philo, but this is a great lineup of scholars #17thcentury #histsci #histphilo

One of my favourites too: plants in #histphilo #histsci, with a lot of attention on #Descartes! I believe that the intersections between science, #botany and politics are more than relevant and little explored #manipulatingflora

Here my book in Italian works.hcommons.org/records/r187...
Today's episode is one of my favorites among recent topics: a look at the formal French garden, and its surprisingly intricate relationship to philosophy under Louis XIV! (Also look out for a fabulous pun about him.)

In Bochum, I present a paper on the reasons why investigating on #17thcent #plantphilosophy adds something to the #histphilo #histsci of the time, as scholars dealt with🌾nature🌿 and life. I move from the restrictions of Aristotelianism to plant intelligence. #renbotany #plantsentience #plantbehavior
