Abstract
Baroque” sensitivity – a concept elusive enough – develops in the complex post-Renaissance culture and largely co-exists with the new culture shaped by seventeenth- century scientific revolution. In Leibniz’s experience a totally “modern” exploration of the new world mixes with the adoption of rhetorical tools and spiritual attitudes typical of baroque culture. I present here some samples of this Leibnizian approch, where some central themes of the new science and new philosophy (mechanism, representation, the issue of the sense of reality) are reinterpreted within an original practice of re-enchanting and theatralizing of world.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
