This book presents an account of the essentially Aristotelian
philosophy of John Sergeant (1623-1707) and his Blackloist
colleagues, Kenelm Digby and Thomas White. Despite their notoriety
as Catholic controversialists in the mid-seventeenth century,
Sergeant and his circle have long suffered from historical neglect,
and Professor Krook's work provides a useful corrective to
conventional historiography. Digby, White and Sergeant were all
concerned to present a coherent philosophical and theological
framework, which would provide some certainty in the face of the
contemporary sceptical challenge, and the author shows how their
work was securely based on traditional Aristotelian foundations.
Through a detailed discussion of Aristotelian methodology, she
shows how, in the face of Protestant misunderstanding, they
justified their own claims for certainty. This study restores
Sergeant and his circle to their proper historical importance and
provides an original and illuminating study of late
seventeenth-century Aristotelian philosophy.
