Scientia is the term that early modern philosophers applied to a
certain kind of demonstrative knowledge, the kind whose starting
points were appropriate first principles. In pre-modern philosophy,
too, scientia was the name for demonstrative knowledge from first
principles. But pre-modern and early modern conceptions differ
systematically from one another. This book offers a variety of
glimpses of this difference by exploring the works of individual
philosophers as well as philosophical movements and groupings of
the period. Some of the figures are transitional, falling neatly on
neither side of the allegiances usually marked by the
scholastic/modern distinction. Among the philosophers whose views
on scientia are surveyed are Hobbes, Descartes, Spinoza, Gassendi,
Locke, and Jungius. The contributors are among the best-known and
most influential historians of early modern philosophy.
