The Oxford Handbook of British Philosophy in the Seventeenth
Century comprises twenty-six new essays by leading experts in the
field. This unique scholarly resource provides advanced students
and scholars with a comprehensive overview of the issues that are
informing research on the subject, while at the same time offering
new directions for research to take. The volume is ambitious in
scope: it covers the whole of the seventeenth century, ranging from
Francis Bacon to John Locke and Isaac Newton. The Handbook contains
five parts: the introductory Part I examines the state of the
discipline and the nature of its practitioners as the century
unfolded; Part II discusses the leading natural philosophers and
the philosophy of nature, including Bacon, Boyle, and Newton; Part
III covers knowledge and the human faculty of the understanding;
Part IV explores the leading topics in British moral philosophy
from the period; and Part V concerns political philosophy. In
addition to dealing with canonical authors and celebrated texts,
such as Thomas Hobbes and his Leviathan, the Handbook discusses
many less well-known figures and debates from the period, whose
importance is only now being appreciated.
