Introduction

History is the investigation of the past, especially how it identifies with people. It is the term that identifies with past occasions and in addition the memory, revelation, accumulation, association, presentation, and understanding of data about these occasions. History can likewise allude to the scholastic control which utilizes a story to look at and break down a grouping of past occasions, and equitably focus the examples of circumstances and end results that focus them. The field of social studies incorporates a scope of hypothetically, politically, exactly, methodological points of view and practices connected with social investigation.

International Journal of History and Cultural Studies (IJHCS) is an internationally peer reviewed open access journal that publishes latest information on History and Cultural Studies. It includes the topics like Cultural history, Diplomatic history, Economic history, Environmental history, World history, People's history, Historiometry, Gender history and Public history etc.

The Toynbee Affair at 100: The Birth of 'World History' and the Long Shadow of the Interwar Liberal Imaginaire

Abstract

Functioning as "precedent" and "templates" for future transfers, the Greco-Turkish population exchange and the Lausanne Treaty) are undoubtedly events of world-historical significance. But they are also crucial in the genesis of the subfield of historical research we now call "World History": they provided the backdrop against which Arnold Joseph Toynbee (1889-1975) began sketching his magnum opus, A Study of History and developed the foundations of this subfield of history writing. This article revisits the so-called "Toynbee Affair" and places it in its intellectual and political contexts. First, it revisits the British classicist scholarship that provided the backdrop and initial inspiration for Toynbee as it shifted its gaze from ancient Rome to Greece, which was put forward as a better model for foreign and imperial policy. Next, it examines Toynbee's wartime activities and shows that his attitudes towards the new states of Central Europe were based on principles that often stood in tension with his activities and views connected to the Middle East. During these years, Toynbee was an active participant in a discourse concerning the need to manage "mixed populations," which moved to the forefront of a new form of internationalism, while also exposed to the writings of authors such as Oswald Spengler and Frederick J. Teggart, who pushed him to advance a new type of historiography. Third, the article looks at the uneven reception of Toynbee's ideas after 1945, including his views on the US, the "Muslim civilization," and his controversial views on Jews and the politics of the Middle East. The article concludes by arguing that his views, which rested on a deep suspicion of liminal hybridity or cultural mestizos, failed to transcend the basic logic of separation developed in Lausanne. Entirely on the contrary: Toynbee's story offers us a case in which we can recognize the making of the interwar "cultural imaginaire" and "reinvention of differences," which continues shaping our view of "the West's" supposed borders to this day.

The following article explores ideas of early ecological thinking within the natural sciences of early-19th-century Germany and discusses its possible roots. It tries to shed some light on the work of Gottfried Reinhold Treviranus who developed a holistic understanding of nature. The historical background and 18th-century ideas Treviranus relies on will be described-namely, the 'great chain of being', the idea of nature as a vast network of interconnected living beings and the question about the existence of vital forces that cause movement, growth or reproduction. Reference will especially be made to Gottfried Reinhold Treviranus' main work, the six-volume Biologie oder Philosophie der lebenden Natur für Naturforscher und Aerzte (Biology or Philosophy of Living Nature for Natural Scientists and Physicians) published in Göttingen between 1802 and 1822 and the somewhat later synopsis Erscheinungen und Gesetze des organischen Lebens (Phenomena and Laws of Organic Life) printed in Bremen in 1831 and 1832.

Man as Image of Nature in Magnus Hundt: The Perspective of a Thomist ca. 1500 Cited by 1

Abstract

This paper draws on a late medieval example to show that images of nature can also be images of the human body. It presents the Anthropologium de hominis dignitate by the Leipzig magister Magnus Hundt (1449-1519). The Anthropologium is a text that prominently integrates the human body into its conception of man and its account of human dignity. The body is not presented as a prison of the soul, but as a perfectly balanced physical counterpart to the soul. The paper shows how Hundt's reflections were influenced by his commitment to the Thomistic school. Moreover, it reveals how the elevated Imago Dei thesis provides a justification for the study of the human body. Hundt is shown to offer nothing less than a theological-philosophical legitimation for practising medicine. In doing so, he also incorporates images of nature in a literal sense, insofar as he includes images of the human body in his book. Full article

About the Contributors

Authors

Howard Martin

Alan Ng wears 3 hats for the Division of Continuing Studies, one bearing the title "Director of Outreach Technology," another one as a German instructor, and - rarely - a third as an ad-hoc instructor of Irish traditional music. Alan is chiefly responsible for overseeing the Division's use of technology and providing strategic IT leadership for the continuing-education units across campus. That work includes project management and technical consulting across the areas of instruction, marketing, financials, and business process improvement. His responsibilities within the German program are to teach the Independent-Learning German course 391 (A Foundation Course in Reading German), and to grade the German for Reading Knowledge Exam.

Alan's main academic background is in German literature, for which he completed a PhD at UW-Madison in 2002 on the topic of a politically explosive 1962 East-Berlin poetry reading with far-reaching consequences. His professional notoriety in this field, however, rested mainly on his volunteer work publishing and editing germanistik.net, arguably the world's leading professional Web portal for Germanists, which he founded in 1996. His interests in Germanistik have always incorporated technology, including inventing online teaching tools in German and Dutch during the birth years of the Web, writing academic hypertext (such as on poet Paul Celan) and building the North American directory database for German studies. More recently, Alan invented and built Syntax Untangler, an online, open-source tool for teaching reading skills in any language.

Physics Education Research (PER) uses various research methods classified under qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods. These approaches help researchers understand physics education phenomena and advance our efforts to produce better PER. Over time, research questions and contexts have evolved, and so have our methods. We understand it has come the time for PER scholars to examine qualitative methods in our field critically. Therefore, we urge you to contribute to the Focused Collection on Qualitative Methods in PER.

This Physical Review Physics Education Research (PRPER) Focused Collection was curated to bring to light curriculum design decisions and the factors that shape them. By making decisions about design explicit, we can better understand the contexts behind our research claims, hold curricula up to informed critique, and support new scholars as they undertake curriculum development.

दिनांक १ मे १९६० रोजी महाराष्ट्र राज्याची स्थापना झाली आणि मराठी भाषेच्या विकासाची नवी दालने खुली झाली. महाराष्ट्र राज्याचे पहिले मुख्यमंत्री स्व. यशवंतराव चव्हाण यांनी मराठी भाषा, साहित्य, संस्कृती आणि ज्ञाननिर्मिती यांचा विकास करण्याकरिता जी अनेक पावले उचलली, त्यांतले महत्त्वाचे पाऊल म्हणजे दि. १ नोव्हेंबर १९६० रोजी महाराष्ट्र राज्य साहित्य आणि संस्कृती मंडळाची स्थापना. आधुनिक जग हे ज्ञान आणि माहिती यांचे जग म्हणून ओळखले जाते. यामध्ये ज्ञाननिर्मिती, ज्ञानसंवर्धन आणि ज्ञानप्रसार या तिन्हीं गोष्टींचा समावेश होतो. याचा विचार करून महाराष्ट्र राज्य साहित्य संस्कृती मंडळाच्या अंतर्गत मराठी विश्वकोशाचा प्रकल्प हाती घेण्यात आला.

BOTANY. From antiquity into the late eighteenth century, the medical utility of plants provided the primary motive for studying them. However, from the late fifteenth century on, other reasons for the investigation of plants became increasingly important and gave botany a disciplinary and professional identity distinct from medicine. These included: explicating classical texts; portraying plants accurately in works of art; collecting rarities for natural history cabinets, gardens, and museums; exploiting natural resources; glorifying the wonders of creation; and satisfying the curiosity of natural philosophers. The primary thrust of botany in early modern Europe was plant identification, description, and classification, an effort that culminated in the late seventeenth and eighteenth centuries when systematics assimilated morphology, reproduction, anatomy, and geography.

LATE FIFTEENTH CENTURY TO MID-SIXTEENTH CENTURY

While editing the ancient authorities on medicinal plantsPliny's Natural History and Dioscorides' De Materia medica (On the materials of medicine)in the late fifteenth century, Italian humanists looked at living plants to resolve textual problems. In contrast to medieval doctors' dependence on illiterate herb-gatherers, medical humanists in the early sixteenth century strove to emulate Dioscorides' and Galen's firsthand experience with medicinal plants.

The lack of a shared vocabulary for plant description and nomenclature was circumvented by the addition of accurate, detailed, naturalistic woodcut illustrations to printed herbalsa key innovation introduced by Otto Brunfels's (14881534) Herbarum Vivae Eicones (Living images of plants, 1530) and Leonhard Fuchs's (15011534) Historia Stirpium (Notable commentaries on the history of plants, 1542), and imitated by virtually every herbal thereafter. The failure of Leonardo da Vinci's (14521519) superb drawings and observations of plant formsunfinished at his death in 1519to influence early modern botany underscores the scientific consequences of coupling the technology of printing to skill in depicting plants.

Beginning in the 1530s, medical schools at Padua, Pisa, Basel, and Montpellier established chairs of botany, required lectures, demonstrations, and field trips, and built botanical gardens. Students of Luca Ghini (15001556), professor of botany at Bologna and Pisa, spread his technique of preserving pressed, dried specimens throughout Europe.

MID-SIXTEENTH CENTURY TO EARLY SEVENTEENTH CENTURY

The humanist physicians' desire to prescribe the precise plants named by classical authorities spurred Pietro Andrea Mattioli (15011578), a Habsburg court physician, to prepare a voluminous illustrated commentary on Dioscorides (first edition, 1544), the best-selling herbal of the period. Its revisions and enlargements helped Renaissance botanists realize that they knew far more plants than their ancient counterparts.

The immense "universal" herbals of the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centurypublished or projected by major botanists from most European countries, including William Turner (c. 15081568), Conrad Gessner (15161565), Ulisse Aldrovandi (15221605), Jacques Dalechamps (D'Alchamps, Dalechampius, 15131588), Charles de L'Escluse (Clusius, 15261609), Matthias de L'Obel (Lobelius, 15381616), Rembert Dodoens (Dodonaeus, 15171585), Jean Bauhin (15411612), Caspar Bauhin (15601624), and John Gerard (15641637)represented efforts to describe both long-familiar plants and the flood of new species. Plants entered European gardens and herbaria through the voyages of discovery and conquest and by exploration of local habitats. Informal networks of professional and amateur enthusiasts surmounted religious and political divisions and fostered a rapid international exchange of specimens, books, pictures, and observations.

To organize their entries, most herbals used a pragmatic mixture of systems, grouping some plants by their uses, others by similarities of form or habitats. Some herbals, emblem books, and books on natural magicreflecting astrology, Paracelsan chemistry, and the search for symbolic significance in naturestressed plants' hidden, inner properties, manifested by distinctive external "signatures." Appealing to Aristotle and Theophrastus's philosophical emphasis on growth and reproduction as the essential characteristics of the vegetative soul, Andrea Cesalpino (Caesalpinus, 15241603) stressed resemblances of seeds and fruits in grouping plants in his influential De Plantis Libri XVI (On plants, 1583).

EARLY SEVENTEENTH CENTURY TO LATE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY

Caspar Bauhin (15601624), professor of botany and anatomy at Basel, took the first critical step toward a single botanical lexicon of plant names: his Pinax Theatri Botanici (Pinax, i.e., Index, for the botanical realm, 1623) summarized the synonyms and literature for some six thousand plantsten times the number in Dioscoridesand assigned them brief descriptive Latin names that emphasized their affinities. ( Pinax remains an indispensable guide to identifying plants in earlier works.) An equally important step came from Joachim Jung's (15871657) astute analysis of plant parts, which reached John Ray (16271705)English cleric, naturalist, natural philosopher, and fellow of the Royal Society by 1660 in manuscript. Between 1660 and 1704, Ray linked taxonomy, nomenclature, morphology, and bibliography in a series of strictly botanical books that brought together first-hand accounts of many previously undescribed plants, new technical terminology (such as petal, calyx, cotyledon), close observations of growth and form, and deep reflection on method.

Ray spelled out the combinations of essential morphological features that defined natural classes of plants. While acknowledging natural groupings at least at the genus/species level (categories that went back to Aristotle), the French botanist, J. P. de Tournefort (16561708), countered with a convenient and widely adopted artificial system of classification based primarily on the disposition of flower parts.

The chemical composition of plants and the form and function of plant parts, previously regarded as unimportant, came under the scrutiny of botanists trained in iatrochemistrynotably Guy de la Brosse (15861641), the founder of the Paris Jardin des Plantes in 1640and in microscopy. Robert Hooke (16351703) and Nehemiah Grew (16411712) in England and Marcello Malphighi (16281694) in Italy reported to the Royal Society in the late seventeenth century on their experimental investigations of plant cells and tissue structures. Stephen Hales (16771761) in the 1720s and Joseph Priestley (17331804) and Jan Ingen-Housz (17301799) half a century later devised chemical and physical experiments to measure plant nutrition and metabolism.

The demonstration of sexual reproduction in flowering plantsin an obscure 1694 publication, De Sexu Plantarum Epistola (On the sex of plants), by Rudolf Jacob Camerer (Camerarius), professor of medicine at Tbingenboth resolved a longstanding question and provided the brilliant Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus (17071778) with the basis of a taxonomic system that overrode all earlier proposals.

Believing that God had created species and genera, Linnaeus embedded their essential characters in his binomial nomenclaturehenceforth giving the terms "genus" and "species" distinctive scientific meanings. Although Linnaeus clearly recognized larger natural groupings (plant families were methodically elucidated by the French botanists Antoine-Laurent de Jussieu [17481836] and Michel Adanson [17271806] in the late eighteenth century), his Species Plantarum (Species of plants, 1753) constructed a deliberately artificial system of classification, easily understood by anyoneeven "ladies"who could count the sexual parts of flowers. By imposing a common language and rational organization on the plant kingdom, Linnaeus made botany both a symbol of divine order and the epitome of Enlightenment science.

Botany is the scientific study of plants. While early humans were very knowledgeable about identifying harmful and beneficial plants, the ancient Greeks were the first to study plants scientifically (or for the sake of gaining knowledge rather than any practical purpose). The study of plants greatly expanded with the seventeenth-century invention of the microscope and today, modern botany uses a whole range of tools that investigate plants at their genetic level.

Plants are multicelled organisms that live by making their own food using the process of photosynthesis to harness the energy of sunlight and convert it into food. Plants are essential to all living things since they provide food, oxygen, energy, and even wood. Since early humans were hunter-gatherers before they learned how to farm, it was especially important to know which plants were good to eat and which were not. Some plants were sometimes found to have medical uses. Until the Greeks studied plants in the fourth century, knowledge of plants consisted primarily of the following types of practical information-which plants were safe, which were harmful, and which were good to cure illness.

THEOPHRASTUS CONSIDERED THE FOUNDER OF BOTANY

The Greek scholar Theophrastus (c.372-c.287 b.c.) began to study plants as life-forms worthy of study by themselves rather than sources of food or drugs. His work, titled Enquiry into Plants, survives today and has earned him the title "founder of botany." In this work he studied a wide range of plants and discussed seeds, budding, and the effects of disease

and weather. He also attempted a classification of plants and described their different parts. Following Theophrastus, other Greeks and Romans were more interested in the practical aspects of plants and most books written were "herbals" or works that contained mainly medicinal (and sometimes mythical) information on plants. The tradition of herbals, which stressed plants that were useful to people, continued throughout medieval times and the Renaissance.

OTHERS EXPAND ON THEOPHRASTUS'S WORK

By the middle of the sixteenth century, the scientific tradition begun by Theophrastus was revived in Germany as several naturalists began to produce botanical books that were based on facts rather than on the elaborate and sometimes fantastic claims of the herbals. These naturalists also began to investigate plant anatomy (the structure or parts of plants) and plant physiology (the internal life processes that take place). This scientific tradition was reinforced in the next century by the invention of the microscope, which allowed a better view of a plant's minute parts. By the end of the seventeenth century, plant anatomy was being studied seriously and many correct scientific discoveries were being made. In 1682, the English physician Nehemiah Grew (1641-1712) published The Anatomy of Plants in which he displayed eighty-three full-page plates of microscopic sections of plant stems and roots. Grew was the first to state that flowers contained a plant's sexual reproductive organs. His work and that of others led to the landmark work of the Swedish clergyman and naturalist, Carolus Linnaeus (1707-1778). After traveling through much of Europe studying plants, Linnaeus published in 1735 his System of Nature in which he created the modern form of systematic classification known as the binomial (two name) system. The first name he used was the genus, or the type of group, to which they belonged. This was followed by the species, or the particular name. His system soon became useful in classifying all living things. Following Linnaeus, botanists became increasingly specialized and nineteenth-century botany became best known for its discovery of photosynthesis and of the cellular structure of plants. By 1900, the earlier work of the Austrian monk Gregor Mendel (1822-1884), in which he worked out the actual laws of inheritance based on his work breeding pea plants, became well known and modern botany truly began.

Today, the study of botany has many interconnected branches. The major areas of investigation are plant anatomy or the study of the internal arrangement of plant parts; plant physiology or the processes (like photosynthesis) that take place inside a plant; plant morphology or the external or visible arrangement of a plant's parts; plant taxonomy or the identification and classification of plants; plant cytology or the study of plant cells; plant genetics or the study of plant inheritance; plant ecology or the study of a plant's relationship to its surroundings; plant paleobotany or the study of fossil plants; dendochronology or tree-ring dating; and ethnobotany or the relations between humans and plants (especially the identification of plants with medical properties).

THEOPHRASTUS

Greek botanist Theophrastus (327 b.c.-287 b.c.) is considered the father of botany, the scientific study of plants. He was the first to study plants solely for their own sake and not just to learn how they might be put to some practical use. Although few of his writings remain, what did survive became the principle source of botanical information for centuries.

Theophrastus was born on the Greek island of Lesbos and was lucky to study as a very young man with the great Greek philosopher, Plato (c.427 b.c.-c.347 b.c.). After Plato's death, Theophrastus met and became a lifelong friend of the second great philosopher of the ancient world, Aristotle (384 b.c.-322 b.c.). In fact, it was Aristotle who gave him his nickname "Theophrastus," meaning "divine speech." Aristotle had founded a school called the Lyceum which Theophrastus took over after Aristotle's retirement. Under Theophrastus's leadership, the school reached its highest point. There, he carried on Artistotle's teachings in biology, although he concentrated on the study of plants (botany), where Aristotle had specialized in the study of animals (zoology).

Although Theophrastus is believed to have written a great deal on many different subjects, only a small portion of his botanical work survived. In these works, he covered every major aspect of plants-their description, classification, and distribution as well as how plants propagate (reproduce). Significantly, he described the formation of the plant in the seed as being like the fetus of an animal, something produced by it but not a part of it. He identified and grouped more than five hundred species and varieties of plants from those he knew, as well as those from neighboring lands. He classified plants into trees, shrubs, undershrubs, and herbs and developed a way of naming plants based on their external and internal parts, which he called organs and tissues. He also described sexual reproduction in flowering plants, as well as seed germination (when a seed starts to grow and puts out a root) and development. Although the real function of pollen (dustlike grains that contain the plant's male sex cells) was not understood, he wrote detailed descriptions of how to pollinate certain fruit-bearing trees. His knowledge of plants was such that he knew that some flowers bear petals while others do not, and that there were major differences in the seed structure of flowering plants (called angiosperms) and cone-bearing trees (called gymnosperms). In fact, he is credited with inventing the term "gymnosperm" which in Greek means "naked seed." Finally, he described how Greek farmers used certain bean crops to enrich the soil. Today, farmers know that important nitrates (salts from nitric acid) are formed by bacteria that live on the roots of these bean plants, and that they add important nitrogen (a nonmetalic element) to the soil.

Theophrastus is rightly considered to be the founder of botany. Unlike many who followed him, his plant study was focused on learning about plants not for their practical uses (which are many and important), but from a purely scientific aspect, simply in order to learn more about them. His one surviving botanical work contains all the essentials of what today is considered scientific botany. He observed, collected, and systematized his botanical information, and wrote in a clear and accurate manner. Although missing from his work are all of the fabulous folk tales that surrounded plant lore, he brought a scientific mentality to the study of plants. In many ways, Theophrastus was more modern than anyone who followed him for the next two thousand years.
