Curiosità e diritto: tra scienza giuridica e governo della natura

This paper explores selected medieval and early modern intersections between legal thought, conceptions of nature, and the human impulse to understand and govern the natural world (curiositas). By critically engaging with Hans Blumenberg’s interpretive framework, the paper argues that juristic creativity played a significant role in redefining these themes and values, deeply embedded in theological tradition, and in transmitting them to European societies increasingly shaped by political, technological and economic transformations.
