Short description:
This outstanding introduction to Cavendish's philosophy explores the full span of her work. Including a chronology, glossary, and suggestions for further reading, Cavendish is an ideal starting point for anyone coming to Cavendish?s philosophy for the first time.
MoreLong description:
Dazzlingly original but deeply engaged with the philosophical currents of her time, Margaret Cavendish (1623?1673) was one of the most ingenious and exciting philosophers of the seventeenth century. In Cavendish, Alison Peterman provides a systematic reading of Cavendish?s natural philosophy. While highlighting interpretations of Cavendish that present her as an anthropomorphic thinker, Peterman advocates instead for reading Cavendish in light of her naturalism, materialism, and anti-anthropocentrism, explaining how these themes ramify in Cavendish?s metaphysics, philosophy of mind, epistemology, and method. Cavendish articulates and explains what is novel and heterodox in Cavendish?s views, and also examines her philosophical engagement with other seventeenth-century thinkers like Hobbes, Boyle, Descartes, and Hooke.
An outstanding introduction for newcomers to Cavendish, Cavendish is essential reading for students and scholars of Cavendish as well as those taking courses in seventeenth-century philosophy, metaphysics, history of science, philosophy of mind, epistemology, and philosophical methodology.
