Das Staunen vor der Schöpfung: «Tota substantia», «calidum innatum», «generatio spontanea» und atomistische Formenlehre bei Daniel Sennert

Abstract

A thorough study of the system of a philosophy of nature, elaborated by the well-known German physician Daniel Sennert (1572—1637). At the beginning of the modern era, Sennert developed a new and very complex concept of the relations between matter and the guiding principle active in it, the Aristotelian form.
