Pierre Gassendi (15921655) was a major figure in seventeenth-century philosophy and science and his works contributed to shaping Western intellectual identity. Among new philosophers, he was considered Descartess main rival, and he belonged to the first rank of those attempting to carve out an alternative to Aristotelian philosophy. In his writings, he promoted a revival of atomism and Epicureanism within a Christian framework, and advocated an empiricist and probabilistic epistemology which was to have a major impact on later thinkers such as Locke and Newton. He is moreover important for his astronomical work, for his defense of Galileos mechanics and cosmology, and for his activity as a biographer.
Given the importance of Gassendi for the history of science and philosophy, it is surprising to see that he has been largely ignored in the Anglophone world. This collection of essays constitutes the first book on Gassendi in the English language that covers his biography, bibliography, and all aspects of his work. The book is divided into three parts. Part I offers a reconstruction of the genesis of Gassendis Epicurean project, an overview of his biography, and analyses of Gassendis early attacks on Aristotle, of his advocacy of Epicurean philosophy, and his relation to the skeptical tradition and to Ciceros thought. Part II addresses Gassendi as a participant in seventeenth-century philosophical and scientific debates, focusing especially on his controversies with Descartes and Fludd. Part III explores Gassendis contributions to logic, theories of space and time, mechanics, astronomy, cosmology, and the study of living beings, and presents the reception of Gassendis thought in England.
