Note from the Editors
OxfordStudiesinEarlyModernPhilosophycoverstheperiodthatbegins,
very roughly, with Descartes and his contemporaries and ends with
Kant. It also publishes papers on thinkers or movements outside that
framework (and including Kant), as long as they are important for
illuminating early modern thought. The core of the subject matter is,
of course, philosophy and its history. But the volume’s papers reflect
the fact that philosophy in this period was much broader in its scope
thanitisnowtakentobe,andincludedagreatdealofwhatcurrently
belongstothenaturalsciences.Furthermore,philosophyintheperiod
was closely connected with other disciplines, such as theology, and
with larger questions of social, political, and religious history. While
maintaining a focus on philosophy, the volume includes articles that
examine the larger intellectual, social, and political context of early
modernphilosophy.Whilethearticlesinthevolumeareofimportance
to specialists in the various subfields of the discipline, our aim is to
publishessaysthatappealnotonlytoscholarsofoneparticularfigureor
another,buttothelargeraudienceofphilosophers,intellectualhistor-
ians,andotherswhoareinterestedintheperiod.

singlevolumeavailableinbothhardbackandpaperback,andcontain-
ing roughly – pages. While everything will be published in
