This dictionary of 17th-century British philosophers construes "philosophy" as wide in scope including not just logic, metaphysics, ethics and epistemology, but those many aspects of religion, politics, mathematics and science that are of philosophical importance. There are entries for over 400 figures: Bacon, Hobbes and Locke, as well asd Digby, Cudworth and Glanvill. But there are also entries on John Lilburne the leveller, Robert Ferguson "the potter" and Thomas Tyron, an early vegetarian. The broad scope also allows inclusion of many figures well known to historians of other disciplines. The "Dictionary" has entries on mathematicians such as Napier and Oughtred, Barrow and Wallis; natural scientists like Hooker and Chillingworth, Baxter and Stillingfleet; writers like Milton and Marvell, Dryden and Defoe. All these figures are of philosophical importance and interest.

New. 1855067048. *** FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request ***-*** IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT-FLAWLESS COPY, BRAND NEW, PRISTINE, NEVER OPENED-2 volumes: 932 pp: 234x156mm: cloth; 5.2 pounds. --The Dictionary of Seventeenth-Century British Philosophers is a completely new reference work which, like its forerunner the hugely successful Dictionary of Eighteenth-Century British Philosophers, is quite remarkable in its scope. Earlier works on the subject have construed 'philosophy' narrowly, whereas this Dictionary covers not just logic and metaphysics, ethics and epistemology but also those many aspects of religion and politics, mathematics and science that are of philosophical significance. Entries include biographies, assessments and bibliographies for each subject. The text places the figure in the social as well as intellectual context of the day and critically assesses their central claims and doctrines as well as their overall place in the history of philosophy. Bibliographies contain the author's own works together with a selection of secondary literature. A system of cross-references makes it easy for the reader to pursue connections and influences. --2 volumes of newly written material * more than 70 expert, academic contributors * over 400 entries * cross-referenced and fully indexed * includes non-traditional and less well-known figures * excellent coverage of figures from the areas of science, mathematics, literature, and theology as well as philosophy of value to historians of philosophy and all seventeenth-century scholars within a wide range of disciplines. --with a bonus offer--
