"The Book of Nature. Continuity and Change in European and American Attitudes Towards the Natural World."
International conference at the University of Groningen, The Netherlands.
The metaphor of the 'Book of Nature' is a recurrent theme in the history of Western attitudes towards the natural world. In this tradition, nature is seen as a text - a system of signs - that refers to and provides insights
into the wisdom, providence and omnipotence of God the Creator. Through the ages, however, smaller and greater changes have taken place concerning the use of this concept. The conference will explore this interplay of change and continuity, from Classical Antiquity to and beyond Darwin.
Organization: prof.dr. K. van Berkel (Dept. of History), prof.dr. A.J.
Vanderjagt (Dept. of Medieval Studies)
