Abstract

During the late Renaissance and the beginning of the early modern period, the concept of nature took on great cultural prominence in Europe as it shifted away from scholastic Aristotelianism toward the experimental and mechanical philosophies that sought new metaphors and techniques. Despite this shift, large portions of the Aristotelian view persisted, interacting, and at times mixing, with novel natural philosophies, artisanal practices, and rival ancient systems of natural philosophy revived through the researches of humanists.
