The ad hoc group "Facticity of the World", established in 2017, takes up the current discussion on "post-truth politics". The often conscious denial of reality in political discourse challenges science just as much as the negligent handling of truths.

This project undertakes a systematic survey of the tens of thousands of letters written by and addressed to learned physicians in the German-speaking area between 1500 and 1700, which have come down to us in numerous libraries and archives in Germany and abroad. These letters, many of which have gone unnoticed so far in historical scholarship, are valuable sources for the study of a wide range of…

Along with…
