The Age of Epistemology: Aristotelian Logic in Early Modern Philosophy 1500-1700
Sgarbi, Dr Marco (Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, Italy)
Marco Sgarbi tells a new history of epistemology from the Renaissance to Newton through the impact of Aristotelian scientific doctrines on key figures including Galileo Galilei, Thomas Hobbes, René Descartes, John Locke, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, and Isaac Newton.
This history illuminates the debates philosophers had on deduction, meditation, regressus, syllogism, experiment and observation, the certainty of mathematics, and the foundations of scientific knowledge. Sgarbi focuses in on the Aristotelian education key philosophers received, providing a concrete historical framework through which to read epistemological re-definitions, developments and transformations over three centuries. Aristotle's Scientific Doctrines in Early Modern Epistemology further highlights how Aristotelianism itself changed over time by absorbing doctrines from other philosophical traditions and generating a variety of interpretations in the process. Through contextualizing these diverse approaches and reactions to scientific Aristotelian philosophy, this book tells a new essential history of epistemology.
