From Data to Wisdom will focus specifically on data treatment and visualization according to a comparative and critical perspective. The ICTs development and, especially through the Internet, explosion are indeed hiding the deep historical roots of these practices. Our hypothesis is that epistemological issues about data treatment and visualization were already faced and, in many cases, successfully resolved by philosophers, scientists, and theologians between the Middle Ages and Early Modernity.
FDTW's Goals:
I.) To study and to show how issues about data treatment and visualization were already relevant and maturely discussed in the Middle Ages and Early Modernity;
II.) To digitally actualize Middle Ages and Early Modern visualizations, by extracting general models and by creating a universally applicable open source data visualization framework;
III.) To reflect philosophically on the relations, both in the Middle Ages and Early Modernity, and in the digital age, between data visualizations and the theories of mind.
