The Spanish Disquiet
In this book, historian María M. Portuondo takes us to sixteenth-century Spain, where she identifies a community of natural philosophers and biblical scholars. They shared what she calls the “Spanish Disquiet”—a preoccupation with the perceived shortcomings of prevailing natural philosophies and empirical approaches when it came to explaining the natural world.

This new issue of our ongoing leadership series presents country-specific analyses of culturally endorsed leadership practices and ...
