Isaiah Berlin and the Enlightenment
The World of the Favourite
concern with explanation: Bouwsma cites Eisenstein but does not ask whether typography might have fostered the greater concern with literal meaning in texts and with orderly, straightforward unrhetorical presentation of arguments that he sees as increasingly normative among the elite.While essays of this sort should not be tied by all the requirements of a scholarly monograph, Bouwsma's willingness to eschew citations for many of his quotations (…
Descartes, Gassendi, and the Reception of the Mechanical Philosophy in the French Collèges de Plein Exercice, 1640–1730
This article explores the speed and form in which the mechanical philosophy was absorbed into the college curriculum in Louis XIV’s France. It argues that in general a mechanist approach to nature only began to be received sympathetically after 1690. It also emphasizes that it was the Cartesian not Gassendist form of the mechanical philosophy that professors espoused. While admitting that at present it is impossible to explain successfully the hi…

The Scientific Revolution in France
in the second half of the sixteenth and in the early seventeenth centuries the large majority of the French social and cultural elite showed scant interest in unravelling nature's secrets. The socially dominant noblesse d'épée seldom received a sophisticated education in the classical humanities and philosophy and often could read no other language but French. Their physically exacting existence left little time to contemplate God's creation and …

The medico-religious universe of an early eighteenth-century Parisian doctor
INTRODUCTION: THE MAN The eponymous hero of this chapter is unlikely to be a familiar figure to many historians of medicine of the post-Cartesian era. This is scarcely surprising for from the vantage point of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Philippe Hecquet (1661–1737) was just another Paris physician, indistinguishable from the large majority of the three hundred or so medical men who legally or illegally practised their craft in the Fre…

The History of French Higher Education
Public Schools in Renaissance France. George Huppert
Aristotle, Descartes and the New Science
The article discusses the decline of Aristotelian physics at the University of Paris in the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. A course of physics remained essentially Aristotelian until the final decade of the seventeenth century, when it came under the influence of Descartes. But the history of physics teaching over this period cannot be properly appreciated if it is simply seen in terms of the replacement of one physical philosophy by…
Patterns of Attendance at the University of Paris, 1400–1800
During the past ten years, historians of early modern Europe in Britain, France and the United States have shown an increasing interest in the history of education. Doubtless encouraged by the contemporary formulation of an educational sociology, they in turn have begun to investigate the form and function of education in pre-industrial societies. For the most part, however, research has been limited to the study of elementary education with the …

Descartes, Gassendi, and the Reception of the Mechanical Philosophy in the French Collèges de Plein Exercice, 1640–1730

It argues that in general a mechanist approach to nature only began to be received sympathetically after 1690. It also emphasizes that it was the Cartesian not Gassendist form of the mechanical philosophy that professors espoused.
