Abstract

"During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, Aristotelian notions of logic and causation came under serious attack. Traditional philosophy speaks of this period as marking a revolution in scientific thought. In this book Fred Wilson reinstates and extends the traditional conception of the scientific revolution and its significance, and explores the goals and directions of the new science according to the differing interpretations of rationalist and empiricist thinkers."--BOOK JACKET.

Abstract

This volume collects some of the seminal essays on Descartes by Daniel Garber, one of the pre-eminent scholars of early-modern philosophy. A central theme unifying the volume is the interconnection between Descartes' philosophical and scientific interests, and the extent to which these two sides of the Cartesian program illuminate each other, a question rarely treated in the existing literature. Amongst the specific topics discussed in the essays are Descartes' celebrated method, his demand for certainty in the sciences, his account of the relation of mind and body, and his conception of God's activity on the physical world. This collection will be a mandatory purchase for any serious student of or professional working in seventeenth-century philosophy, history of science, or history of ideas.

Abstract

Relégué pendant longtemps à l’arrière-plan, au profit de l’Éthique et du Traité théologico-politique, le Traité politique est aujourd’hui au cœur des études spinozistes. Son originalité tient en particulier à l’apparition de l’énigmatique concept de "multitude libre", qui se substitue à la théorie du contrat et sert aujourd’hui de référence centrale à un certain nombre de penseurs contemporains, tel Antonio Negri ou Étienne Balibar. Ce nouveau concept permet de penser autrement le problème de la constitution de l’État, de sa production et de sa reproduction à travers la seule logique des affects. Le présent ouvrage fait le point sur les recherches actuelles autour du Traité politique, de la traduction de ses principaux concepts à ses usages possibles pour concevoir le pouvoir et l’émancipation politiques aujourd’hui.

Abstract

This book discusses the impetus-based physics of the Jesuit natural philosopher and mathematician Honoré Fabri (1608-1688), a senior representative of Jesuit scientists during the period between Galileo's death (1642) and Newton's Principia (1687). It shows how Fabri, while remaining loyal to a general Aristotelian outlook, managed to reinterpret the old concept of “impetus” in such a way as to assimilate into his physics building blocks of modern science, like Galileo’s law of fall and Descartes’ principle of inertia. This account of Fabri’s theory is a novel one, since his physics is commonly considered as a dogmatic rejection of the New Science, not essentially different from the medieval impetus theory. This book shows how New Science principles were taught in Jesuit Colleges in the 1640s, thus depicting the sophisticated manner in which new ideas were settling within the lion’s den of Catholic education.

Abstract

Etude du corpus de philosophie scolastique et plus spécifiquement naturelle, vulgarisé en langue française par le juriste Scipion Dupleix à la fin de la Renaissance, nommé Corps de philosophie ou Cours de philosophie. L'auteur examine le statut de cette discipline chez les lettrés, l'adaptation du latin au français, le détail du travail du texte et les motivations du jeune magistrat. ©Electre 2020 Surtout connu pour ses ouvrages d’histoire, le juriste condomois Scipion Dupleix fut aussi l’un des tout premiers à écrire en français un corpus complet de philosophie scolastique. Dans les années 1600-1610, il publia un ensemble de textes couvrant la logique, la philosophie naturelle, l’éthique et la métaphysique, qui connut en son temps un immense succès sous le nom de Corps ou de Cours de philosophie. Notre ouvrage analyse le travail de vulgarisateur de Dupleix, en se fondant plus particulièrement sur les textes traitant de philosophie naturelle. Il examine le statut et la place de cette discipline dans les milieux lettrés, l’adaptation de la langue française à la philosophie jusque-là exprimée en latin, les raisons qui ont pu pousser un jeune magistrat de province à entreprendre une vaste entreprise de diffusion philosophique et le détail du travail du texte, pour tenter de cerner les raisons d’écrire la philosophie en langue française à la toute fin de la Renaissance.

Abstract

While Spinoza’s impact on the early Enlightenment has always found due attention of historians of philosophy, several 17th-century Dutch thinkers who were active before Spinoza’s Tractatus theologico-politicus was published have been largely neglected: in particular Spinoza’s teacher, Franciscus van den Enden ( Vrye Politijke Stellingen , 1665), Johan and Pieter de la Court ( Consideratien van Staet , 1660, Politike discoursen , 1662), Lodewijk Meyer ( Philosophia S. Scripturae Interpres , 1666), the anonymous De Jure Ecclesiasticorum (1665), and Adriaan Koerbagh ( Een Bloemhof van allerley lieflijkheyd , 1668, Een Ligt schynende in duystere plaatsen , 1668). The articles of this volume focus on their political philosophy as well as their philosophy of religion in order to assess their contributions to the development of radical movements (republicanism / anti-monarchism, critique of religion, atheism) in the Enlightenment.

Divine will and the mechanical philosophy : Gassendi and Descartes on contingency and necessity in the created world

Abstract

This book is about the influence of varying theological conceptions of contingency and necessity on two versions of the mechanical philosophy in the seventeenth century. Pierre Gassendi (1592-1655) and René Descartes (1596-1650) both believed that all natural phenomena could be explained in terms of matter and motion alone. They disagreed about the details of their mechanical accounts of the world, in particular about their theories of matter and their approaches to scientific method. This book traces their differences back to theological presuppositions they inherited from the Middle Ages. Theological ideas were transformed into philosophical and scientific ideas which led to the emergence of different styles of science in the second half of the seventeenth century.
