Thèse de doctorat
| Résumé : | This PhD is a study of hydraulic philosophy—a proposed new name for the branch of early modern natural philosophy concerned with water. Both the production of hydraulic knowledge and its practical application happened in context; the thesis focuses on one of these contexts, early modern European cities. Three case-studies—Augsburg, Florence, and Amsterdam—are approached from an interdisciplinary perspective. In addition to scholarship written by urban historians, historians of science and technology, and art historians, the lens of environmental history has been precious to formulate the research questions and methods underpinning the dissertation. |
