Christoph Lüthy has a dual training in philosophy from Oxford and the history of science from Harvard. His principal research interests include the origins of modern sciences during the Renaissance, the evolution of theories regarding matter and time, visual strategies in scientific explanation, and the mind-body problem. He has developed a reaction to Darwin's evolutionary model and has notably published a series on early-modern atomists, including figures such as Bruno, Taurellus, Gorlaeus, Sennert, Galileo, Descartes, and De Raey. Lüthy's work emphasizes the techniques of visualization in science, including diagrams and models, and the key notions of chance, atom, and the perfectibility of humans. He serves as editor-in-chief for the journal 'Early Science Medicine' and is the editor for the book series 'Medieval and Early Modern Philosophy and Science', both released by Brill Academic Publishers. Additionally, he is a member of prestigious organizations, including the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences and Academia Europaea.
