The themes discussed in the four chapters are: nature and landscape description; truth, reason, knowledge, and their limits; theodicy, infinity, and the search for original causes. Also, a specific philosophical problem, theodicy in the poem  Über den Ursprung des Übels , is compared to a specific scientific problem, the nature of irritability and sensibility in  De partibus corporis humani sensilibus et irritabilibus , with emphasis on Haller's working method.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Katharina Mommsen,Dorothy Roller Wiswall\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3261049065\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783261049063\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Group Ag, International Academic P\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/31\/1981\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Leather","brand":"Katharina Mommsen","offers":[{"title":"Leather","offer_id":48850603999487,"sku":"9783261049063","price":131.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-comparison-of-selected-poetic-katharina-mommsen-9783261049063","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
