{"product_id":"early-modern-cartesianisms-dutch-and-french-constructions-9780190495220","title":"Early Modern Cartesianisms: Dutch and French Constructions","description":"There is a general sense that the philosophy of Descartes was a dominant force in early modern thought. Since the work in the nineteenth century of French historians of Cartesian philosophy, however, there has been no fully contextualized comparative examination of the various receptions of\u003cbr\u003eDescartes in different portions of early modern Europe. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis study addresses the need for a more current understanding of these receptions by considering the different constructions of Descartes's thought that emerged in the Calvinist United Provinces (Netherlands) and Catholic France, the two main centers for early modern Cartesianism, during the period\u003cbr\u003edating from the last decades of his life to the century or so following his death in 1650. It turns out that we must speak not of a single early modern Cartesianism rigidly defined in terms of Descartes's own authorial intentions, but rather of a loose collection of early modern Cartesianisms that\u003cbr\u003einvolve a range of different positions on various sets of issues. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThough more or less rooted in Descartes's somewhat open-ended views, these Cartesianisms evolved in different ways over time in response to different intellectual and social pressures. Chapters of this study are devoted to: the early modern Catholic and Calvinist condemnations of Descartes and the\u003cbr\u003eincompatible Cartesian responses to these; conflicting attitudes among early modern Cartesians toward ancient thought and modernity; competing early modern attempts to combine Descartes's views with those of Augustine; the different occasionalist accounts of causation within early modern\u003cbr\u003eCartesianism; and the impact of various forms of early modern Cartesianism on both Dutch medicine and French physics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tad M.
