Immanuel Kant's work continues to be a main focus of attention in
almost all areas of philosophy. The significance of Kant's work for
the so-called continental philosophy cannot be exaggerated,
although work in this area is relatively scant. The book includes
eight chapters, a substantial introduction and a postscript, all
newly written by an international cast of well-known authors. Each
chapter focuses on particular aspects of a fundamental problem in
Kant's and post-Kantian philosophy, the problem of the relation
between the world and transcendence. Chapters fall thematically
into three parts: sensibility, nature and religion. Each part
starts with a more interpretative chapter focusing on Kant's
relevant work, and continues with comparative chapters which stage
dialogues between Kant and post-Kantian philosophers, including
Martin Heidegger, Hannah Arendt, Jean-Francois Lyotard, Luce
Irigaray and Jacques Derrida. A special feature of this volume is
the engagement of each chapter with the work of the late British
philosopher Gary Banham. The Postscript offers a subtle and erudite
analysis of his intellectual trajectory, philosophy and mode of
working. The volume is dedicated to his memory.
Experimental philosophy was an exciting and extraordinarily
successful development in the study of nature in the seventeenth
century. Yet experimental philosophy was not without its critics
and was far from the only natural philosophical method on the
scene. In particular, experimental philosophy was contrasted with
and set against speculative philosophy and, in some quarters, was
accused of tending to irreligion. This volume brings together ten
scholars of early modern philosophy, history and science in order
to shed new light on the complex relations between experiment,
speculation and religion in early modern Europe. The first six
chapters of the book focus on the respective roles of experimental
and speculative philosophy in individual seventeenth-century
philosophers. They include Francis Bacon, Robert Boyle, Margaret
Cavendish, Thomas Hobbes, John Locke and Isaac Newton. The next two
chapters deal with the relation between experimental philosophy and
religion with a special focus on hypotheses and natural religion.
The penultimate chapter takes a broader European perspective and
examines the paucity of concerns with religion among Italian
natural philosophers of the period. Finally, the concluding chapter
draws all these individuals and themes together to provide a
critical appraisal of recent scholarship on experimental
philosophy. This book is the first collection of essays on the
subject of early modern experimental philosophy. It will appeal to
scholars and students of early modern philosophy, science and
religion.

The emergence of experimental philosophy was one of the most
significant developments in the early modern period. However, it is
often overlooked in modern scholarship, despite being associated
with leading figures such as Francis Bacon, Robert Boyle, Isaac
Newton, Jean Le Rond d'Alembert, David Hume and Christian Wolff.
Ranging from the early Royal Society of London in the seventeenth
century to the uptake of experimental philosophy in Paris and
Berlin in the eighteenth, this book provides new terms of reference
for understanding early modern philosophy and science, and its
eventual eclipse in the shadow of post-Kantian notions of
empiricism and rationalism. Experimental Philosophy and the Origins
of Empiricism is an integrated history of early modern experimental
philosophy which challenges the rationalism and empiricism
historiography that has dominated Anglophone history of philosophy
for more than a century.
