This book explores the notions of space and extension of major
early modern empiricist philosophers, especially Locke, Berkeley,
Hume, and Condillac. While space is a central and challenging issue
for early modern empiricists, literature on this topic is sparse.
This collection shows the diversity and problematic unity of
empiricist views of space. Despite their common attention to the
content of sensorial experience and to the analytical method,
empiricist theories of space vary widely both in the way of
approaching the issue and in the result of their investigation.
However, by recasting the questions and examining the conceptual
shifts, we see the emergence of a programmatic core, common to what
the authors discuss. The introductory chapter describes this
variety and its common core. The other contributions provide more
specific perspectives on the issue of space within the
philosophical literature. This book offers a unique overview of the
early modern understanding of these issues, of interest to
historians of early modern philosophy, historians and philosophers
of science, historians of ideas, and all readers who want to expand
their knowledge of the empiricist tradition.
