Fabrizio Baldassarri is a historian of science and philosophy who studies how people in early modern and premodern Europe (roughly the 1500s-1700s) understood the natural world. Much of his recent work focuses on the history of botany and plant physiology—how plants were classified, studied, and compared to animals in medicine—and on the natural philosophy of René Descartes, including his ideas about physics, medicine, and living bodies.
