This collection of essays breaks new ground in bringing together scholars from a range of disciplines to focus on the nature and status of principles in early modern thought. A comprehensive introduction argues that there is a natural "fault line" between propositional and ontological principles, and establishes a clear understanding of how the term principle might be used, and of the kinds of questions that might be raised about its usage. With contributions from leading scholarsincluding Daniel Garber, William Newman, and Sophie Rouxthis book will be of interest to scholars of early modern philosophy, the history of early modern thought, and the history and philosophy of science.
This collection presents the first sustained examination of the nature and status of the idea of principles in early modern thought. Principles are almost ubiquitous in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries: the term appears in famous book titles, such as Newtons Principia; the notion plays a central role in the thought of many leading philosophers, such as Leibnizs Principle of Sufficient Reason; and many of the great discoveries of the period, such as the Law of Gravitational Attraction, were described as principles.
Ranging from mathematics and law to chemistry, from natural and moral philosophy to natural theology, and covering some of the leading thinkers of the period, this volume presents ten compelling new essays that illustrate the centrality and importance of the idea of principles in early modern thought. It contains chapters by leading scholars in the field, including the Leibniz scholar Daniel Garber and the historian of chemistry William R. Newman, as well as exciting, emerging scholars, such as the Newton scholar Kirsten Walsh and a leading expert on experimental philosophy, Alberto Vanzo. The Idea of Principles in Early Modern Thought: Interdisciplinary Perspectives charts the terrain of one of the periods central concepts for the first time, and opens up new lines for further research.
