Dear Members 

In order to homage Torricelli’s Opera Geometrica (1644), a
call for papers in History/Historical Epistemology of Science and Philosophy of Science
for a Collection Book is proposed:

370th Anniversary of Evangelista Torricelli's Opera Geometrica
(1644). Critical Problems and New Historical Insights as Historical Epistemology of
Science Max Planck Institute for the History of Science – Edition  Open 
Sources, 2017

MAIN TOPIC

In 2014, 370 years have passed since the publication
of Evangelista Torricelli’s Opera Geometrica (1644, Massa & de
Landis, Florentiae). The proposed collection book would be a collection of
unpublished, original historical-philosophical scientific articles on the
relationship among proofs, mechanics, mathematics, physics and geometry strictly
relating to the Opera Geometrica's scientific content. This anthology should also encourage
the much-needed reinterpretation of the entire Opera Geometrica. While
the core theme remains the theories and HPS/epistemological studies connected with
the content of the Opera Geometrica, the book will contain chapters on
other appropriate aspects in any rounded history of the subject. A blinded
peer-review process will be undertaken for each submission. Therefore,
academics from different scientific and historical philosophical horizons are
welcome to discuss emerging thoughts in methodological and in theoretical
perspectives aiming to gather and re-evaluate the current thinking on this
subject. The volume’s composition would make absorbing reading for historians,
philosophers and scientists (particularly mathematicians, physicists and engineers).Opera Geometrica, on the Web: [Max Planck Institute for the History of Science]: http://echo.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/MPIWG:WHZEF9W9THE COLLECTION BOOK (The main)
