The Journal SOCIETATE ȘI POLITICĂ is searching for articles and book
reviews for its Autumn 2012 issue. This issue will focus on:
God and the Order of Nature in Early Modern Thought: Topics in Metaphysics,
Epistemology, and Natural Science
Invited editors:
Laura Georgescu (University of Bucharest)
Grigore Vida (New Europe College, Bucharest)
In the contemporary world, we are used to consider science and religion as
entirely separate domains. However, in the early modern period the aim of
scientific inquiry was often considered to be the deciphering of God’s plan
and will, as manifested in nature. It was not only theology and
metaphysics that dealt with God; natural philosophy and even mathematics
were also deeply tied to conceptions about God’s involvement in nature as a
creator and sustainer of its order. Conceptions about God and his relation
to the created world directly determined the scientific practice in terms
of methodological, epistemological or metaphysical principles; at the same
time, the effort to make nature intelligible ended up in revealing God’s
intentions or even his “nature”. This special issue of Societate și
politică aims to explore the ways in which God and the order of nature were
treated in a single natural-philosophical enterprise, mutually influencing
each other. Societate și politică welcomes research coming from different
fields (history of philosophy, history and philosophy of science, history
and philosophy of mathematics, etc.) and strongly encourages
cross-disciplinary approaches.
SOCIETATE ȘI POLITICĂ is a peer-reviewed scholarly journal published by
Western University “Vasile Goldiș”, Arad, Romania. See
http://uvvg.ro/socpol/. It welcomes original, high-quality research coming
from the disciplines of philosophy, history of political thought,
intellectual history, history and philosophy of science, favouring
interdisciplinary and cross- disciplinary approaches. Papers no longer than
8.000 words, or book reviews no longer than 800 words, should be submitted
by email to Grigore Vida, grigor...@gmail.com and Laura Georgescu,
mailgeorg...@gmail.com.
