Main Research Themes

His scholarship explores how science developed in relation to:

  • Religion
  • Magic and occult traditions
  • Universities and learned culture
  • Printing and knowledge circulation
  • Humanism
  • Political and social structures

Rather than treating “science” as isolated progress, he studies how it emerged from older systems of belief and practice.
