Abstract:

The book gives an introduction to the new research field of Historical
Pragmatics of Controversies and provides seven case studies (from 1609 to
1796) on controversies in the fields of astronomy/astrology, medicine,
chemistry, philosophy, and theology. The protagonists of these controversies
include both famous authors like Kepler, Hobbes and Leibniz and
internationally less known authors like the German theologian A.H. Francke and
the chemist F.A.C. Gren. The case studies examine the organizing principles of
historical controversies, language use, moves and strategies, topic management
and text organisation, and the adherence to communication principles in these
controversies. At the same time they analyse the use of different text types
and media in the course of controversies, including pamphlets, journal
articles, reviews, scientific handbooks and letters. In addition, the case
studies demonstrate early modern writers’ resources from disputation practice,
dialectic, and rhetoric and show developments of the practice of polemical
writing during this period.
