This text explores the complex relations between "enlightened" values and
the making of scientific knowledge. Here monsters and automata,
barometers and botanical gardens, polite academies and boisterous clubs
are all given their due place in the landscape of enlightened Europe. The
contributors examine the production of new disciplines through work with
instruments and techniques; consider how institutions of public taste and
conversation helped provide a common frame for the study of human and
nonhuman natures; and explore the regional operations of scientific
culture at the geographical fringes of Europe. Implicated in the rise of
both fascism and liberal secularism, the moral and political values that
shaped the Enlightenment remain controversial today. Through careful
scrutiny of how these values influenced and were influenced by the
concrete practices of its sciences, this book seeks to offer an entirely
new sense of the Enlightenment.
