- This work on the history of universities presents new materials and case studies in order to deepen understanding of the role of the academic milieu in the early modern reshaping of natural philosophy. The chapters included in this volume aim to pursue two main axes of research: the reconstruction and exploration of the dialectics between tradition and innovation in the reshaping of natural philosophy; the attempt to constitute and consolidate new traditions in natural philosophy. The introduction presents the general topic of the volume, the methodological approach developed by the contributors, and the contents of each contribution.
