This volume draws a balanced picture of the Rationalists by
bringing their intellectual contexts, sources and full range of
interests into sharper focus, without neglecting their core
commitment to the epistemological doctrine that earned them their
traditional label. The collection of original essays addresses
topics ranging from theodicy and early modern music theory to
Spinoza's anti-humanism, often critically revising important
aspects of the received picture of the Rationalists. Another
important contribution of the volume is that it brings out aspects
of Rationalist philosophers and their legacies that are not
ordinarily associated with them, such as the project of a Cartesian
ethics. Finally, a strong emphasis is placed on the connection of
the Rationalists' philosophy to their interests in empirical
science, to their engagement in the political life of their era,
and to the religious background of many of their philosophical
commitments.
