The Cambridge History of Medieval Philosophy comprises over fifty specially commissioned essays by experts on the philosophy of this period. Starting in the late eighth century, with the renewal of learning some centuries after the fall of the Roman Empire, a sequence of chapters takes the reader through developments in many and varied fields, including logic and language, natural philosophy, ethics, metaphysics, and theology. Close attention is paid to the context of medieval philosophy, with discussions of the rise of the universities and developments in the cultural and linguistic spheres. A striking feature is the continuous coverage of Islamic, Jewish, and Christian material. There are useful biographies of the philosophers, and a comprehensive bibliography. The volumes illuminate a rich and remarkable period in the history of philosophy and will be the authoritative source on medieval philosophy for the next generation of scholars and students alike.

At a Christmas dinner party in 1817 an admittedly drunken Charles Lamb berated the famed Isaac Newton as “a Fellow who believed nothing unless it was as clear as the three sides of a triangle”. He and John Keats then agreed that Newton had destroyed all the poetry of the rainbow, by reducing it to a prism. Lamb and Keats, it seemed, wished Newton in hell, as William Blake had seemed to do earlier in his long poem Jerusalem (1804), where he blamed the “cogs tyrannic” of the newly industrializing Britain on the “Water-wheels of Newton” which drove the “Loom of Locke, whose woof rages dire”. Not long after this Christmas dinner party Keats made a public statement about Newton’s “cold philosophy” in his poem, Lamia (1820):

The Fragmentation of Renaissance Occultism and the Decline of Magic

Since the Enlightenment, alchemy has been viewed as a sort of antiscience, disparaged by many historians as a form of lunacy that impeded the development of rational chemistry. But, in "Atoms and Alchemy", William R. Newman - a historian widely credited for reviving recent interest in alchemy - exposes the speciousness of these views and challenges widely held beliefs about the origins of the Scientific Revolution. Tracing the alchemical roots of Robert Boyle's famous mechanical philosophy, Newman shows that alchemy contributed to the mechanization of nature, a movement that lay at the very heart of scientific discovery. Boyle and his predecessors - figures like the mysterious medieval Geber or the Lutheran professor Daniel Sennert - provided convincing experimental proof that matter is made up of enduring particles at the microlevel. At the same time, Newman argues that alchemists created the operational criterion of an "atomic" element as the last point of analysis, thereby contributing a key feature to the development of later chemistry. "Atoms and Alchemy" thus provokes a refreshing debate about the origins of modern science and will be welcomed - and deliberated - by all who are interested in the development of scientific theory and practice.
