"This book is the first comprehensive treatment in English of the philosophical system of the seventeenth century philosopher Pierre Gassendi. Gassendi's importance is widely recognized and is essential for understanding early modern philosophers and scientists such as Locke, Leibniz, and Newton. Offering a systematic overview of his contributions, Antonia LoLordo situates Oassendi's views within the context of sixteenth and early seventeenth century natural philosophy as represented by a variety of intellectual traditions, including scholastic Aristotelianism, Renaissance neo-Platonism, and the emerging mechanical philosophy. Her work will be essential reading for historians of early modern philosophy and science."--Jacket.
