Chapter Lost and found in translation : Der alttschechische Barlaam zwischen kontemplativem Traktat, Predigt und Abenteuerroman

Abstract

This book examines the ways that texts from the humanities have fostered particular approaches to knowledge by constructing different versions of a ‘scientific ethos’. The studies contained in this volume reveal how and why different forms of scientific ethos have developed since the mid-18th century. The studies also illuminate associated styles of rhetorical argumentation.
