The Worlds of Positivism
This book is the first to trace the origins and significance of positivism on a global scale. Taking their cues from Auguste Comte and John Stuart Mill, positivists pioneered a universal, experience-based culture of scientific inquiry for studying nature and society—a new science that would enlighten all of humankind. Positivists envisaged one world united by science, but their efforts spawned many. Uncovering these worlds of positivism, the volume ranges from India, the Ottoman Empire, and the Iberian Peninsula to Central Europe, Russia, and Brazil, examining positivism’s impact as one of the most far-reaching intellectual movements of the modern world. Positivists reinvented science, claiming it to be distinct from and superior to the humanities. They predicated political governance on their refashioned science of society, and as political activists, they sought and often failed to reconcile their universalism with the values of multiculturalism. Providing a genealogy of scientific governance that is sorely needed in an age of post-truth politics, this volume breaks new ground in the fields of intellectual and global history, the history of science, and philosophy.
Tocante a lo que Ud. me pregunta...
Siguiendo los pasos del andaluz Juan Montañés (1757-ca. 1838), esta investigación recorre historias de Maldonado y sus habitantes en la transición de la colonia a la república. En aquel período, la ciudad conoció la efímera presencia de la Real Compañía Marítima, la tragedia del saqueo inglés, el entusiasmo ante la Revolución de Mayo, la tensión entre vecinos divididos, la ocupación portuguesa, la adhesión al Brasil, la guerra contra este, la independencia, los prolegómenos de la Guerra Grande y otros acontecimientos que pusieron a prueba su capacidad de resistir. Este libro no es una historia política, sino de la vida corriente influida por las calmas y turbulencias de la época. Se centra en los individuos comunes, anónimos o casi anónimos (sin voz), que construyen la sociedad de su tiempo pero rara vez ingresan a los libros de historia.

The Sacred Made Real
"This text reappraises an art form crucial to the development of Spanish art. In 16th and 17th-century Spain, sculptors worked in a unique relationship with painters, combining their skills to depict, with astonishing realism, the great religious themes"--OCLC
