Experimental philosophy was an exciting and extraordinarily
successful development in the study of nature in the seventeenth
century. Yet experimental philosophy was not without its critics
and was far from the only natural philosophical method on the
scene. In particular, experimental philosophy was contrasted with
and set against speculative philosophy and, in some quarters, was
accused of tending to irreligion. This volume brings together ten
scholars of early modern philosophy, history and science in order
to shed new light on the complex relations between experiment,
speculation and religion in early modern Europe. The first six
chapters of the book focus on the respective roles of experimental
and speculative philosophy in individual seventeenth-century
philosophers. They include Francis Bacon, Robert Boyle, Margaret
Cavendish, Thomas Hobbes, John Locke and Isaac Newton. The next two
chapters deal with the relation between experimental philosophy and
religion with a special focus on hypotheses and natural religion.
The penultimate chapter takes a broader European perspective and
examines the paucity of concerns with religion among Italian
natural philosophers of the period. Finally, the concluding chapter
draws all these individuals and themes together to provide a
critical appraisal of recent scholarship on experimental
philosophy. This book is the first collection of essays on the
subject of early modern experimental philosophy. It will appeal to
scholars and students of early modern philosophy, science and
religion.
