From frontispieces of books to monumental prints created by philosophers in collaboration with renowned artists, Susanna Berger examines visual representations of philosophy and overturns prevailing assumptions about the limited function of the visual in European intellectual history. Rather than merely illustrating already existing philosophical concepts, visual images generated new knowledge for both Aristotelian thinkers and anti-Aristotelians, such as Descartes and Hobbes. Printmaking and drawing played a decisive role in discoveries that led to a move away from the authority of Aristotle in the seventeenth century. Berger interprets visual art from printed books, student lecture notebooks, alba amicorum (friendship albums), broadsides, and paintings, and examines the work of such artists as Pietro Testa, Leonard Gaultier, Abraham Bosse, Durer, and Rembrandt. In particular, she focuses on the rise and decline of the "plural image," a genre that was popular among early modern philosophers. Plural images brought multiple images together on the same page, often in order to visualize systems of logic, metaphysics, natural philosophy, or moral philosophy. 650 0 $a Art and philosophy $z Europe. 650 0 $a Aesthetics, Modern $y 17th century. 650 0 $a Aesthetics, Modern $y 18th century. 650 0 $a Visual communication in art $z Europe $x History. 650 0 $a Art, Renaissance. 650 0 $a Art, Modern $y 18th century. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214022756.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190402014604.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=31162DD619C611E7BD0085CCDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
