NOTCOM Research Hub (The Common Notion: Science and Consensus in the Seventeenth Century)

NOTCOM is a philosophical study of common notions, collective inquiry, and dissemination strategies in seventeenth-century natural science, with special focus on the role of so-called “common notions”. Using a ground-breaking transversal methodology, it studies:


epistemological models of consensus as they emerged from early modern controversies in logic, rhetoric, moral philosophy, theology and law, and how they were re-deployed within natural philosophy;
methods of collective inquiry in early modern natural philosophy;
the role of consensus models and methods of collective inquiry in the public dissemination of early modern natural philosophy;
the actuality of early modern consensus models and methods of collective inquiry in relation to current philosophy of science and science communication studies.
