  • Atoms, Pneuma and Tranquillity

    Margaret J Osler, Henry HellerARTICLERenaissance and Reformation2009

    This volume examines the influence that Epicureanism and Stoicism, two philosophies of nature and human nature articulated during classical times, exerted on the development of European thought to the Enlightenment. Although the influence of these philosophies has often been noted in certain areas, such as the influence of Stoicism on the development of Christian thought and the influence of Epicureanism on modern materialism, the chapters in thi…

  • Hellenistic and Early Modern Philosophy

    Open AccessJ B Schneewind, A A Long et al.BOOKHellenistic and Early Modern…2003

    Early modern philosophers looked for inspiration to the later ancient thinkers when they rebelled against the dominant Platonic and Aristotelian traditions. The impact of the Hellenistic philosophers (principally the Stoics, Epicureans and Skeptics) on such philosophers as Descartes, Leibniz, Spinoza and Locke was profound and is ripe for reassessment. This collection of essays offers precisely that. Leading historians of philosophy explore the c…

    This book challenges the traditional historiography of the Scientific Revolution, probably the single most important unifying concept in the history of science. Usually referring to the period from Copernicus to Newton (roughly 1500 to 1700), the Scientific Revolution is considered to be the central episode in the history of science, the historical moment at which that unique way of looking at the world that we call 'modern science' and its atten…

Usually referring to the period from Copernicus to Newton (roughly 1500 to 1700), it is considered to be the central episode in the history of science, the historical moment at which that unique way of looking at the world that we call “modern science” and its attendant institutions emerged. It has been taken as the terminus ad quern of cla…

  • English Epicures and Stoics

    Reid Barbour, Margaret J OslerARTICLERenaissance and Reformation2000

    For 17th-century English intellectuals, the ancient Epicureans and Stoics spoke clearly and forcefully to the kinds of problems they most wanted to solve. Whether seeking to define divinity, kingship, nobility or liberty, to determine how people should live, govern, worship, form societies and interpret nature, or to mediate between pleasure and virtue - early Stuart writers time and again adapted and transformed the rival yet crossbred legacies …
