Metaphors of the Human Heart and Their Epistemological Shifts after 1600. A Case Study in Changes in Wittenberg Natural Philosophy and Discourses of Power

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This study examines how the metaphor of the heart was used and what role it played in a political context in a particular type of text outside elite scholarly discourse, namely the relatively short occasional and student texts associated with teaching at the University of Wittenberg and other Protestant universities in the German lands. First, the ideas about the heart transmitted in the context of the teaching of anatomy at Wittenberg are analysed. The didactic poetry of Nicolaus Selnecker illustrates how the heart functioned in the metaphorical thinking of Wittenberg students and how it was related to political discourse. An analysis of the Latin poems of Tomáš Mitis shows how corporeal metaphorical thinking was adapted in the intellectual exchange between Wittenberg and Bohemia. Michael Maier’s lesser-known alchemical and medical works are used to illustrate the changing functions of the heart metaphor and the epistemological shifts associated with the imagination of the heart after 1600.
