Nicolas Steno (or Niels Stensen), Lutheran medical student turned Roman Catholic bishop (and later beatified), accomplished anatomist and pioneer geologist, continues to draw scholarly attention. Building on an already extensive historiography devoted to Steno and his milieus, these two books provide important additions to scholarship and mature and enlightening interpretations of his historical significance. They should be consulted not just by those with an interest in Steno himself but also by those with interests in the histories of anatomy, Cartesianism, experimentalism, geology, and medicine; by those with an interest in the history of what we would now call scientific method; and by those with interests in the history of interactions between science and religion in the early modern period. Steno and the Philosophers brings together eleven papers on different aspects of Steno’s life and work. The first three are concerned chiefly with understanding Steno’s conversion to Catholicism in 1667 and the role played by his interests in natural philosophy in his changing religious views. Eric Jorink begins with a highly revealing account of Steno’s years in the Dutch Republic from 1660 to 1664, focusing on the factors that led him from Lutheranism to the Catholicism that he fully embraced a few years later. Jorink discusses Steno’s interactions with Spinoza and, especially, with Jan Swammerdam, whose own religious trajectory shows similarities to Steno’s, but he also considers much less well known figures in the religious melting pot of the republic at this time. He also shows the importance of Cartesianism in turning both Steno and Swammerdam away from natural philosophy and toward theology. This is taken further in Sebastian Olden-Jørgensen’s reconsideration of Steno’s conversion, in which he convincingly demonstrates that “Steno’s spiritual development is not to be found in traditional Catholic-Protestant controversial theology but in the deistic criticism of religion that he encountered among Dutch politici informed by natural law and

Nicolas Steno (1638–1686):重新评估的博学者

Nicolas Steno(或 Niels Stensen),路德会医学生,后来成为罗马天主教主教(后来被称颂),有成就的解剖学家和先驱地质学家,继续引起学术界的关注。这两本书建立在已经广泛的致力于史蒂诺及其环境的历史编纂的基础上,为学术和对他的历史意义的成熟和启发性的解释提供了重要的补充。不仅那些对 Steno 本人感兴趣的人,而且那些对解剖学、笛卡尔主义、实验主义、地质学和医学史感兴趣的人都应该咨询他们;那些对我们现在称之为科学方法的历史感兴趣的人;以及那些对近代早期科学与宗教互动历史感兴趣的人。Steno and the Philosophers 汇集了 11 篇关于 Steno 生活和工作不同方面的论文。前三个主要是关于理解斯特诺在 1667 年皈依天主教,以及他对自然哲学的兴趣在他不断变化的宗教观点中所起的作用。埃里克·约林克 (Eric Jorink) 一开始就对史蒂诺从 1660 年到 1664 年在荷兰共和国的岁月进行了极具启发性的描述,重点关注导致他从路德教转向几年后完全接受的天主教的因素。Jorink 讨论了 Steno 与 Spinoza 的互动,尤其是与 Jan Swammerdam 的互动,Jan Swammerdam 自己的宗教轨迹显示出与 Steno 的相似之处,但他也考虑了此时共和国宗教大熔炉中鲜为人知的人物。他还展示了笛卡尔主义在将 Steno 和 Swammerdam 从自然哲学转向神学方面的重要性。塞巴斯蒂安·奥尔登-约根森 (Sebastian Olden-Jørgensen) 对斯泰诺的皈依的重新考虑进一步采取了这一点,其中他令人信服地证明“斯泰诺的精神发展不是在传统的天主教-新教有争议的神学中找到的,而是在他在荷兰政界知情人士中遇到的对宗教的自然神论批评中找到的。根据自然法和
