Die Welt als Bild: Interdisziplinare Beitrage zur Visualitat von Weltbildern

The volume is devoted to the question of the pictoriality of world views. Representatives from a variety of disciplines (theology, art history, astrophysics, history of science, philosophy) come together to resume the study of world pictures as a historico-cultural phenomenon against the horizon of current discussions on the visuality of perceptions of the world.
